Fit/length check

[SimonMW]

Going on from my previous thread, the Lewis Leather 402 has finally arrived! Quality of the jacket appears to be superb, and it's a lot more 'showy' a jacket than I'm used to. But it's certainly the best made leather jacket I've owned so far. However, as anyone who caught my previous thread knows, I was a bit apprehensive, due to my short midsection, that I might have ordered it too short. And yes, it is short. But is it too short? Apologies for being in socks. It was delivered first thing and I just wanted to check the fit.

It’s perfect. Now get yourself some nice high rise pants and it won’t even look a tiny bit short.

Awesome looking jacket.
Slightly (0.5"-1") too short for those pants from my perspective, but might be ok with higher rise pants.

 

[barnabus]

That looks excellent!

The length is exactly where it should be, if you're confident enough in your style. I do like mine just a tiny bit longer in the body - but certainly no more than an inch.

Try it with some higher waisted jeans as suggested, but honestly if you already feel it's too short for you, then it is.

I think that looks good but I am also in @torfjord gang:

It's a nice looking jacket and the sleeves are spot on also.

Looks Great … Wear and enjoy !!

 

[SimonMW]

Thanks guys! That's been quite reassuring! I do really like it, and the leather quality is incredible compared to anything I've had previously.

Yeah it's a jeans problem, not a jacket problem.

Yeah it's a jeans problem, not a jacket problem.

I only agree with this to a limited extent. And for the following reason: High rise jeans may be good if you do not have long legs. With long legs and high rise jeans, the lower body looks disproportionate in my opinion, because the legs are visually extended. I think this promotes the impression of a bollero jacket.
With longer legs or a shorter torso, a slightly longer jacket and low rise jeans is the better choice.
As always, this is of course a matter of taste.

About the jacket of the OP...I for my taste would take it an inch longer, but still it looks good and it fits the style.

Jacket looks perfect!
I see you are the yin to my yang in terms of jeans...

Looks good and suits you perfectly!

Length is exactly as it should be. It’s meant as an MC jacket for riding in a crouch (not sitting upright), so it really can’t be much longer without interfering with the thighs.

I don’t think you necessarily need higher rise pants just different ones.

Jacket is perfect though it'd be even cooler if worn with jeans instead of leggings.

Fair point on the rise. It does seem pretty high for skinny jeans. I guess it is ultimately a matter of preference.

 

[BloodEagle]

Perfect length, any longer would look wrong

 

[Will Zach]

I like the length. This type of jacket should hit anywhere from mid to the bottom of your belt.

 

[SimonMW]

Thanks guys. Taken on the jeans. I do also have slim fit jeans (I really don't like regular or boot cut any more). The ones in the photo are skinny fit, and I'm probably guilty of wearing them for comfort (they are seriously comfortable!)

 

[navetsea]

jacket length looks great, perhaps if you like skinny jeans then black coated skinny with slight bootcut or with ankle zip and a bit of stacking would looks cool paired with leather black jacket

 

[Brandrea33]

Yeah it's a jeans problem, not a jacket problem.

I never understand these comments …

If someone wants to wear a lower rise pair of jeans or a higher rise pair of jeans, what’s that have to do with the jacket? Yes the jacket will hit slightly above or below the belt depending, but honestly it’s no big deal.

I think the jacket will look good with any jeans. YMMV.

EDIT: the jacket looks smashing IMO OP, well done!

I just assumed he wanted the jacket to hit below the belt. The skinny fit of the jeans made me think they're low rise, but I noticed they seem to be at least mid rise as it is.

Jeggings will always look bad, no matter the rise. The jacket seems okay but the outfit is horrific.
