My daughter is in a 30" jacket which fits really well in the body but is about 6 cms back from her wrist when she holds the reins. I have tried a 32" jacket on her which doesn't look too big in the body but the sleeves still are too short by about 5 cms. I can't afford to have one made to measure and to be honest we only do local shows.
Please can anyone suggest what I can do other than cut her hands off and stick them on a bit further up her arms!

Mrs Candy jackets tend to have longer sleeves, my daughter is slim with long arms and they are the only ones that fit. If you are after a navy jacket , I am selling a 30" Mrs Candy , the sleeves I think are 23.5 "

Most jackets have enough on the turn up on the cuff to be let down if you are handy with a needle & thread.
I have a Mrs Candy 30" tweed for sale if interested.

Hi I have the same problem, although sadly no longer in a 30" jacket! My local seamstress lets my sleeves down for me. Never had one yet that didn't have enough material in it but he oes have to add a band of lining around the inside. Cost around £20 so much cheaper than a new jacket

Mrs Candy has much longer sleeves than other makes and having tried on a 30 the fit is much better for me as a skinny adult with monkey arms! I am currently looking for a mrs candy 30 tweed too  |
