Mid belt is where I prefer my jackets. Longer and I feel like Benny Blanco from the Bronx. That jacket is perfect.

Thanks, this pocket side photo shows the fit better. Lands just mid belt which i am finding very functional. It doesn’t ride up in the car or on the bike....or at the movies ;)
The length is the only thing that kept me from ever trying this model. I actually much prefer the back design over the model E... what's the length on that? Vanson says 24" which is about 2-2.5"shorter than what I prefer, it hits you perfectly, but I suspect I'm taller. And the jacket still looks dark brown to me. I think I've convinced myself and I can't unsee it!

Trick of the photo. It’s beyond black. It’s The absence of light. Back length on this 36 is 23.5.
I prefer longer on other jackets but for this model it is working out well.
I’m 5’10” with 31 inseam so pretty average torso

A handful of days of wear now, and creasing is already starting to develop. With this hide being buffalo, I haven't got any real idea what to expect as it ages.

Maybe I missed some earlier posts. Tell us more about this jacket, would like to see some photos of the back. Looks cool from the front!
