Virtika Jacket sleeves

I bought an XL-T Virtika signature jacket a couple months ago, and I like it. Only problem is the sleeves are crazy long, and even rolled up they go all the way to my knuckles. Has anyone tried using the sleeves from the smaller sizes as a replacement? The virtika website says they must be same size but I'm wondering anyone has tried to force them anyways and how well it worked.

The circumference of the sleeve (and therefore the zipper) will be different, therefore you'll end up with a hole where there isn't any more zipper on one half of the equation.

I think he is referring to the xl sleeves on an xlt jacket, they say the difference in length between the two sleeves is about 5 inches. I'd give them a call about it, it sounds possible if the only difference in fit is the length.

checked the sizing guide and measured my own jacket sleeves, apparently for just this season the xlt sleeves were 37in. Im just gonna get the v4 sleeves instead cause there cheaper and the xlt is only 31 inches which should be way better and will fit the zipper without any gaps.
