Do you think the jacket is too short in back? It's 25".
The arms are 26".

Looks ok to me. Maybe an inch more would be not too bad, but from what I know, the cut is correct for you. I could imagine it will sag a bit when broken in. Nice jacket!

It's ok but I would have it 1 or 1.5 inches longer. I like a jacket to be an inch over my belt. In mid- rise jeans.
No, it's not too short. The length is perfect. Remember this is a 1930s style that is meant to be short. Even with your jeans that have a lower rise than would be optimum it still looks good. Wear high waisted trousers and it looks perfect.
Rudie, I like vintage gear but it is 2012. As I said, you can get away with it. But wearing a museum piece isn't everyone's idea of the best application of a vintage idea.I like the design but I also believe in making a classic item your own, so for me it's still a bit too short.

Looks fine, if I'm not mistaken you aren't wearing a belt? Your trousers would probably normally be sitting slightly higher. Even so, as it is it almost covers your belt hoops.
What height are you? I've just ordered a 26" Highwayman and wanted it to sit nearer my jeans pockets.
I think the length of the back is fine, but I would be concerned about the sleeves. They are just long enough right now (and many like them longer) and my understanding is that they will shorten as the horsehide creases and shrinks slightly upward.
Nice jacket indeed. The body length is right -- it's a 30s style.
Personally, I'd prefer slightly longer arms.

Btw what colour would that be?
