    Suit sleeves - too short when arms outstretched?

    So I've compared with my other suit today - and oddly the new one's cuffs appear to hang, if anything, slightly lower than my first suit.

    Versatile Suit Advice

    Hi there, I'm graduating from university next month and need a suit for the occasion. I will also be applying for jobs, and using this one suit as a general all-rounder. The last suit I bought was nine years ago for my high school prom, and I'm afraid I can't get near that now! I live in...
