What are the implications of making an Aero Stockman or Cheyenne longer?

[Jack Burton]

I wear a 44 long so right off the bat that's about 2" extra in length. The Stockman and Cheyenne always look too short to me so I'd probably want to add another 2" on top of that for a total of 4" extra. Does Aero charge extra for this?

Do any of you have pics where you lengthend the Stockman or Cheyenne?

No extra charge on long fittings as long as you don't want a Cheyenne turned into a coat... Jeez, 44 long and you want another 2 inches ? How tall are you?

I'm 6' 3" (190cm). I would want it to at least be below the crotch. IMO, tall people look better in longer cuts when talking about styles such as the Cheyenne or Stockman.

I'm 6 ft /183cm and here's a picture of me wearing a modified Cheyenne in size 40 that had actually taken 2 inches off the original length. That's why I thought you must be huge. Are you sure you need the extra length?

Just out of interest Jan, how long is your Cheyenne?

I thought that was your homeless friend? Aero claims the length of a size 42-44 Stockman is 32" and I'm assuming that does not include the collar. So I'd probably like mine around 35". I like the the proportion of Gijoes but since everyone wears differently waisted pants, it's hard to tell for sure unless the model's arms are at his sides.

Hi Jack

Can't help you with Stockman or Cheyenne, but here's my Veste with 2.5 inches added to both body and sleeves:

Thanks Lear, you confirmed my suspicions. I guess when Aero says a mid-size Stockman has a back length of 32" they must be including the collar in that measurement.

I don't think they would include the collar in the measurement - I would ask to make sure.

I personally think someone of your height would want more than 32" in a 3/4 length coat - I am getting my Barnstormer 32" long and I am only 5' 9".

This is a size 40 Cheyenne that measures 32" from the top of the back seam not including the collar, I don't know how long the standard 40 would be as that was how long I requested but judging by what has been said above I assume it must have had an inch or so added. I'm 6' tall and find this a perfect length for driving any longer and I would be sitting on it which I think would make it more restricting.

 

[Lear]

Some may disagree on this point: adding just 1.5 inches to my cordovan Veste sleeves brings them down to a normal and comfortable length for milder weather wear. There's something about having the shorter length (just off the back of the hand) that seems right for Spring/Autumn. Adding a longer 2.5 inches to my black Veste sleeves gives more cover over the wrists when wearing gloves, and seems more appropriate for those colder months. As it is, they rub slightly on the outward top of my palms; something I'd only tolerate in winter.

Somewhat off topic: what do you all think about adding a vent to a Cheyenne, Barnstormer, etc. to compensate for the extra length and make it easier to sit?

I don't think that the question about Jansolo's coat length got answered. Also besides the length it would be good to have the other dimensions like pit-to-pit, shoulders, and at the waist measurements. It will help in my own ordering process. Thanks!

Hi Joe welcome to the lounge.
Can't answer for Jan but my jacket measures
24" pit to pit,
23.5" at the waist just above the pockets seam to seam,
19.5 shoulder seam to shoulder seam,
Hope that helps.

I'll add that this Dav yabbo has been one of the most helpful people on the forum. IIRC he got a Cheyenne size 40 and his actual measures were 41.5" relaxed 43" expanded. Correct me if I'm wrong, Nick.

Yes Jack that is correct. Not sure about the yabbo bit though, must be lost in translation somehow .
