With the sleeve zippers closed, the leather bunches some in the elbow area. Unzipped with my arms at my sides the sleeves extend down to about the major knuckles of each hand. I'm going to take it in to the leather alteration shop I found and get a quote to take the sleeves up about 1.5 to 2 inches. I really hope it's reasonably feasible to fix the sleeves. The rest of the jacket is great.
If by major knuckles you are referring to those that reside in the bone structure between the metacarpals and the phalanges (No, I didn't stay at a Holiday Inn Express, but I did look up a diagram of the skeletal system of a hand on the web.) it sounds to me like your jacket fits perfectly for riding. Not only will your sleeves tend to ride up a bit when you're on the bike, but as your jacket sleeves develop creases the overall length will shorten up a bit as well.
