Simple quality BDU top in a great pattern
Another thing I didn't need. Main pockets are 2 chest and 2 shoulder, with high-quality zippers; 3 loops on the inside of the chest to retain pens/glow sticks/IV's/crayons. I believe these accommodate a style of soft foam elbow pad like the original UCP ACU's did, cause there's velcro facing downards and a pocket lining up with that area (the pants have something similar but their position seems a hair too low, but these feel just right).
Like the pants, a nice soft feel to the fabric, almost but not quite FRACU soft, with distinctive checkerboard ripstop patterning. Stuff is NEW NEW, still got strings to cut. Some dimple holes in the arm pits for ventilation. The sizing equates to US Army "small short" which I have been my entire life and they fit just like that, which because I'm a manlet, is slightly baggy for me, but that's cause I'm on the bottom end of the range.
But unlike the matching pants, I feel these sleeves are a typical, long length, where the cuffs go beyond my wrists when arms are straight down. I'm a manlet, so not the best judge of these things, but the back/shoulder area seems like it's generously spacious for upper body mass, and that probably scales up the sizes, US Army coats IMO tended to run a tad tight around the neck shoulders.
The name of the game for these and the pants is mobility.
