Now that is exciting! No chance that it is second hand, original owner? Could John have made a bespoke jacket for someone else?
Oh, it's second -hand, I'm the third owner. But it's more about John's learning curve than any custom-tailored jacket.

Now, it's not an inch shorter, like @Brettafett , but when you put a tape to it one is definitely shorter (or longer) than the other.

Star 42 Sleeve measures 25"R (24"+L), my 40 measured 25.5" both sleeves

Ive had an early GW with an uneven collar, a few ELCs with slight differences in sleeve length and a couple of other weird issues... And an Aero with different sleeve length.
Hand made stuff....

I bought this shirt in Pearl Harbor during my honey moon 4 years ago. How I love it so much too, during a visit to the USAF Museum in Dayton (OH), I came across a rack of the same shirt, I bought an other one in spare. :D
My work colleague who accompanied me had a good laugh and thought I was crazy. o_O

Cool, I've been to USAF museum many times and have not seen such shirts in their shop, only all sorts of T-shirts and caps. You are lucky
