My mistake, this J106/Ridley's back is actually 25.5".

Do the same length guidelines apply to cross-zip half-belts? I have a size 36 Hooch Hauler size 36, spec'd with a 25" back, now I'm wondering if I should shorten it.

Definitely not; half-belts whether single or double breasted will run longer.

My hooch hauler is 23.25" back, but I'm 5"8.
Id go for 23.5" given he chance now, slightly wider hem too.

I would want it shorter than that and I’m a size 40, 182 cm long.
If it’s long enough to extend over your hips/ass the hem might be too tight!

Fit looks good in chest and shoulders. I can’t see shoulder droop. It’s maybe a touch long but whatever, I like em a bit longer. For a used jacket and non custom order it’s really good. Looks well on you too!

I'd also like to add that jacket length is one of the most subjective fit aspects of all so if it looks and feels fine to you - enjoy the jacket!
