Every jacket does it. Well, actually, I should amend that. The only jackets that do it are the jackets with plain sleeves, like my suit jacket and Saxon-style tweed "sport" jacket, or kilt jackets with Braemer style cuff. Kilt jackets with gauntlet cuffs tend not to do it, probably because the weight of the cuff settles it back down.

Even my mess jacket does it, but that's likely because I wear French cuffs on the shirt I put on when I'm wearing it.

So to answer the question, it seems to have nothing to do with the age of the jacket, or its construction (except for the gauntlet cuffs which solve the problem).

And no, it ain't my muscles making the sleeves snug! Oh how I wish that were the case!
