i don't see that many super long sleeves around here so it hadn't occurred to me it's just the way the clothes were made. good point.I enjoy wearing clothes with extra long sleeves.
and i don't mean to offend anyone who has photos like this, but i see this all the time with the sleeve pulled so far up that it hides most of the hand...why?
(random pics from the internet)
I skipped my utility bill to buy bling. Now it's really cold at home so I gotta pull my sleeves down to keep my hands and wrist warm. #blingpriorities
I didn't notice it right away, but the photo you use as an icon, bludiva, crops the hand approximately where the cuff falls to "crop" the hands in the photos you posted. I believe the long cuff falling there is to make the hand and ring(s) pleasing to the eye. It has a symmetry.

It drives me crazy personally, I want to grab the hand and pull the sleeve up but what do I know - I'm old.
When I see the photo of the hand palm down and the rings showing, I like the look. When I see the sleeve just hanging down over the hand, in a casual shot with the rings not being the focus, it appears to me that the sleeve length is a matter of personal taste and may be related to how cold the person wearing the garment is! As another person who is always cold, I am glad that most people restrain themselves from undressing me! (My sin is not long sleeves, but many layers. I am often asked, "How many shirts do you have on?")
It is lovely to see you posting here again, Lorelei!

Lovely to see you too Deb!!
I think my thing is that it stems from having soggy wet sleeves from my school jumpers, thus, my urge to pull back said sleeves
