How is it unzipped? I personally don’t care for my belt to be exposed and those certainly don’t look like low rise jeans...sometimes a short jacket is camouflaged a bit by just wearing it open. Sleeve length looks spot on as does the fit everywhere else. I wonder if JL cut the Worn out West jackets shorter at the vendors request...

I'll post a pic of it unzipped but I can tell you it's a size 40 and measures 22.75" from the bottom of the collar to the bottom hem.

Oh how I wish that it would grain....

That’s damn near 6” shorter than I spec my jackets! That would sit well above my belly button. That’s insanely short. I’d have guessed it would be around 24” in back excluding the collar. Was that measurement disclosed when you bought it?

Johnson Leathers M-200 for Worn Out West.

How's the length? These are not low-rise jeans.

It's a bit short... What @Boyo says, if it don't bother you, it's acceptable but I too would prefer the jacket to be 1-2" longer. Rest of it is perfect.

It was mid 50s yesterday, so I did some pics. Today it is 10 and I'm reluctant to go outside.

I think that is stock. Four of my m200 models had a back length of 22.75 to 23.25

This jacket is exceptional!!
That goes without dispute.
Many here yould wear that one and look outstanding but IMO none could come close to “the look” as with you.
I think it’s the white beard that just puts it next level! Icing on the cake!
I could try and wear the hell outta it but never pull that kinda “Look” off!
The master!!

It is a nice jacket, despite the evil aura it's emanating.

I am sure I am the odd man out here, but I much prefer the smooth look of yours.

I am not overly concerned with grain at all to be honest.

The seller stated 24" length. Turns out the seller was including the collar.

Despite how it appears when unzipped, I do like my jackets to fit well when zipped. I may flip this one.

It's great this way. Not even noticeably short.

I like the lenght to be honest.

This technique will work for any horsehide? I'd like to speed up the graining on my Schott Perfecto.

Yes it will but the tougher the leather the less it will do to it. Some are treated to be "waterproof" and just a bit of water sprayed will do nothing.

Flip it if you can find someone that short waisted or a buyer who just doesn't mind looking odd. You could do much better. Why settle for something so obvious..??

Wanna buy it?

Gamma the waist would be up above my belly button just as Tony. I suppose I could cut off a pair of old jeans half way up my calf to match the full 'borderline' affect. Let me think it over...
