do you think these sleeves look better than those rolled up sleeves with straps and buttons?

Uhm.. I don't know... I don't know about historically correct...  :-[

But the original sleeves are a better match color wise..

I love those torsos... had to remove the coat. I wonder why they insist on covering their masterpieces with jackets.  ::)

I hypnotised myself into believing that the undersides of the cloth/sleeves were of a newer shade due to elbow grease from miles of marching in the sun from the coast to Peking :P

Yeah, I think it looks fine! The wrong side of the fabric might be a lighter color.

In the end, we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught.
