Long (double) Riders?

[TheDonEffect]

I generally spec my jackets to be longer, because I find it odd wearing a tucked in t shirt under a leather jacket, and I don't want to show plumber crack if I bend over since jackets have a tendency fo pulling shirts due to their weight. For my body, that generally means the sleeves and body end aroudn the same area, although lately I have been specing a rear drop rather than having it all long.

Short answer, I prefer it long.







That's what she said.

Some additional context, Leather is medium weight soft horsehide, like A2 jacket leather, Horween Vermont. Size is 42 slim (Japanese 44) 22.75" (58cm) P2P, mobility is good.

I first saw it from this Westride version,

Just went out for a drive in this and still feels like I could chop off another 2" in length. What do you all think?

Longer works better here. The design makes me think of things like Norfolk jackets and safari jackets, which were suit jacket length, so they cover the rear. The zippered side vents reinforce that belief.

Those jackets are awful !!!

I think an important thing is for us to all abandon the "rider" terminology that originates in Japanese people who don't speak English. Case in point: even half belts are "single riders".

Essentially it's an Engrish term for "Single breasted" and "double breasted", which is both more useful and more general.
