The traditional rule is to show one-half inch of cuff under your jacket sleeve. With your arm slightly bent your shirt sleeve should reach to about where you palm starts.
"The proper way to determine sleeve length is to measure your arm at the center point where your neck meets your shoulders. Hold your arm slightly akimbo, as though you had your thumb hooked into your pant pocket, and guide the tape down along your arm to your elbow and on toward your wrist. Stop at the point where your forearm meets the palm of your hand. Holding your arm bent just a little gives you the opportunity for fluid arm motion without the buttoned cuff catching on your forearm when you reach out with your arm."
