    Just an idea, you could dip both your sleeves in hot water, then put the jacket on and set the creases in the elbows.  Let dry.  This should shorten the overall length of the sleeves.

    I may try that. I've always been wary of soaking just the sleeves. I don't want to lose indigo and have a difference in shade between the body and sleeves. Maybe the difference is negligible. Maybe I'm overthinking it lol.

      The difference is negligible. I think it is a common misconception that water=indigo loss.  In is understandable because of the blue residue left in the water after soaking, but that is surface indigo and does not have anything to do with the dyed fabric.

      Abrasion=indigo loss. This only happens with movement, agitation and friction. Just letting the arms lie in hot water won’t give you abrasion.

      All that being said, the jacket is once washed, so I doubt it will have much effect. Just wear it. The sleeves will ride up at the cuff and elbow and you’ll «lose» an inch there.

        I soaked the arms tonight. I also wore it for a few minutes while damp to help set some creases. We'll see how it measures in the morning.

            Another idea is finding a skilled tailor and have the sleeves taken in.

              Just ordered a Large in this awesome jacket.  I currently own a medium and find the shoulder a bit tight and can't really layer at all with it if i want to (just a tshirt fits great, but would most likely want more versatility).  So heads up everyone, if the large feels a heck of lot better without the sleeves and length looking silly (I'm only 5'7") then keep your eyes out for a near mint medium coming up for sale!

                Not exactly a summer jacket but the Large has arrived!  Awesome jacket, which now I can comfortably fit over a UHF and don't have to be afraid of getting wet or washing.  Big thanks to Adam for helping me get a size that worked better, looks like the medium I e got will be going up for sale

                            Really interested to see how this jacket will fade…I had the 101J a while back but sold it...it faded really well.

                              Lots of blue popping, especially on the arms and around the pockets, but hasn't been washed yet. What is remarkable is how much it has softened up.

                                    I wear mine all the time since the fall dropped in, and maybe I e not been rough and tumble with it enough but have found it to be fading fairly slow.  I just need some outdoor play with my nieces and nephew to change that, I suppose
