What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

But it doesn't cover waist belt from the back, and as far as I remember you used to have some stern thoughts about that some time ago) Anyway, to my taste it looks very nice, just curious how some personal preferences might change with the time being. Highly endorse that!)

I don’t mind a shorter back, I dislike a short front though, I’ve never liked that look and never will. This actually sits right at my belt in back, about 1” below it in front. Hard to tell b/c the liner is unattached at the back hem and is sagging a bit. Without the vest it’s actual length is a bit more apparent? No doubt it’s shorter though. I’d say 26-26.5” on a blunt hem is good for me and I’d subtract 1-1.5” for a drop front.

My Aero HB hits about the same spot in back. I should’ve learned this lesson a long time ago.

Pretty perfect. I find the wool backed quilted lining in my 30's halfbelt "lifts" the jacket a bit on my shoulders. That may not be the case in an older jacket where most of the "puff" is worn out

Yep. 25” back. Has a nice front drop though. I think spec’ing all my customs (those with a front drop anyway) at 26.5” was a huge mistake.

agreed, i spec between 25.5 and 26.5 and i am 6'2"!
25" shoudl be about perfect for you.
