Vanson 25" body length-too short?

[nick123]

Hello,
I came across this Vanson jacket that I really like:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/VANSON-USA-...parel_Merchandise&hash=item53ee712728&vxp=mtr

I am 6'2", and prefer longer jackets (usually anywhere from 26.5-28" length).
I came across this jacket that I really like, but do you guys think I could make the 25" work?
I have a Gibson Barnes A-2 that is 26" in length and fits like a proper A-2.
The sleeves are about an inch shorter than I'd care for, but I'm more concerned with the body length.
Would this jacket qualify as one of those jackets that can be worn short?
Thank you guys.
-Nick

Usually the rule is that it should cover your belt... Now this also depends on how high the waist of your trousers is, I think 26 inches is a safe length, 25 is for people who mostly wear high waisted trousers.

Depends on the front length and the cut. I usually take a 27 inch back at the same height as you. But my 25.5 Aero is fine - it has a 24 inch front. Often a 25 inch back will have a 22-23 inch front and this does look short.

Yeah, I think I'll need at least a 26".
Thanks guys.
