The low rise pants factor has been pointed out on a range of threads. I agree. Nevertheless a too short jacket is still short, regardless of rise. I had a 23 inch jacket that no pants could save. Not even if my belt came up to my tits.

I bet you did not even try... Anyway, I'm 6'0 and would never try a 23 inch jacket. Right now wearing a jeans jacket that's 24 inches long in the back, with pants that go up to 1/2 inch of my navel. I could spare another 1/2 inch on the jacket, but not on a leather one.

So I guess I should have just said I agree with you :)

Yikes, on your frame that would be in Bolero territory!

That last sentence of yours made me cough on my coffee ! A stifled laugh at the wrong moment! Funny.

Now, that's just crazy talk. If your belt comes up to your tits, you could wear a Bolero jacket and come out okay, not that I'm suggesting you should........:)

EDIT: didn't see the posts under Seb's before I added mine. Carry on....

And cops. Don't forget cops. There is a whole world full of "badge Bunnies," thank goodness.

For real?
I'm shocked because almost all the guys in my uni kendo dept. joined the force, but the only one I know who is a hit with the chicks is in the K9 unit. He met his wife that way.

For real. It is a terrible, terrible, ongoing problem.......

Well this is no good.
I always tell people that the whistles on my flight jackets are for summoning the police when I get mobbed by chicks. I guess the police aren't going to be much help if they're going to arrive with mobs of their own!

As much as I'd like to see a pic of that, OK, that made me LOL!
Are you guys talking about front or backs when you're saying 23"?

Yeah, 23 at the back. At six two I can get away with 25 inches. 23 and I look like a bell hop at a broken down hotel.

No, his wife isn't the dog. His wife was one of the many ladies who used to run up to him when he was working screaming 'Your dog's so cute!'. It's a wonder he ever gets any work done.

Short w/ untucked shirt, but I thought this would be a cool photo of the jacket to pose. I turned the hd feature on the phone on so the color is a bit lighter than this.

Lovely looking jacket, though those jeans are way low. On a related topic, my high-rise SJC Brakeman jeans should be arriving tomorrow, which will remove any potential short-jacket-related issues are swept away!
