Aero jackets shortening / rise of arms and back with wear?

[raul_pompeia]

Guys,
as stated in my other post I have an order pending with Aero. But now I am somewhat worried because I read in some threads that with wear, the back of the jacket could move higher permanently. I knew that sleeve length will shorten because of the wrinkles but I did not know for the back. So in your opinion, how much extra length should be added to the perfect length in

• Back
• Arms

to count in later shortening?

For the arms I added another 0,5 inch.

You have added 0.5 on the arms, leave it at that & enjoy your jacket.

+ 0,5" - 1". That's what I do now.

Any jacket might shrink, it's not just Aero and since I've been burned in the past, I now always make sure to order any jacket longer than what I would've prefered, with an inch added to the sleeves and the back. The back loses length because of the creasing that happens when you're sitting while wearing a jacket. That's what causes those long, horizontal creases over the lower back and yeah, they certainly do affect the back length.
In the end, even if no significant shortening happens, half an inch won't really affect the look of the jacket and will only be useful. Any layering takes away from the overall length of the jacket so it is something to be considered as well...

I'd go 1" to the sleeves on fqhh, perhaps 0.5" on vincenza. The heavy stuff wrinkles up much more heavily. I tend to leave the length as standard, as wrinkling is much less pronounced on the body.
