It's valuable feedback!

I screwed myself on some jackets by going too short because I copied the jacket lengths of some TFL members whose styles I like, not considering that they were shorter than me.

This kind of feedback helps keep someone from expensive mistakes. That said the Comet isn't egregious–I have one myself that I keep pretty much solely for the leather because cafe racers are really uninteresting to me. Definitely have to deliberately pair it with things that will reach the waist.

if the length bothers you now it always will

Truest thing ever.

most valuable thing i learned in taking 20 pics in 2 days is that my 33w levi's 512 are just too baggy.

i could post some ridiculous pics that look like they hang 6 inches under my navel when i lift my arms up touching the ceiling with the jacket on. and when i lift my arms up high the jacket is 6 inches above my navel. epic shenanigans and hilarity on me. sure to get a chuckle from everyone.

i think i need to go down to 32. the 33 are acting like a low rise. not to mention the top block is ****y.

You look different in this set of photos, did you take a sip from the Fountain of Youth?

Is this the TFL effect that I keep hearing about? Guess I'm stickin around for the long-haul

hair dye and lighting. mostly aperture.

here's a cool story.

for a brief time in high school i looked like jon cryer. then it quickly morphed into ferris bueller. i got 2 diff chix from that because they liked pretty in pink and fbdo.

once college came around i started looking like charlie "beats so lonely" ***ton. that was another chick.

after college i went through a rob morrow phase from northern exposure. add another one. once my hair started getting long i looked like a musketeer. then married this one who for some reason thought i looked like johnny depp.

into adulthood i went through a judd nelson stage as well as a jeff goldblum stage.

i'm currently on the matt lauer treadmill.

the only thing that came of this is that women like to screw famous dudes. you can't compete with that. unless you resemble them....ha

Lol, I'm questioning if should have even gotten involved

Haha. Exhibit A: Pic > 1000 words.

Jokes aside, I dig the Comet and generally dislike CRs. I’ve owned 3 or four. All are gone because I never felt totally comfy with their fit. And only my short wife considers me tall. Taking TB’s elongated version out of the equation, Comet length vary, though all short. I’d look for another longer Comet or go to TB.

So in other words: facetune, a $hit ton of filters and a dash of AI?

I gotta hand it to you though, you got a good laugh from me. What started off as a fit check turned into a casual demo of anti-aging tech. TFL never disappoints

Love the redirection going on here.

I think you guys are trying to assist an AI attempting to fit an imaginary jacket.

 

[javajakamama]

is it too short?

I didn't consider that; that's f'd up

Once again I am reminded of why I love this place. This is great stuff.

From the female perspective it looks too short. If you need to change jeans and belt to not look or feel ridiculous then it's too short. If you’re constantly squirming around pulling your jeans up and your jacket down then it's too short. If you can put it on without thinking about tugging this or that and forget you are wearing a jacket, then it's the correct size. I can't stand seeing a guy that is fussing and adjusting something that doesn't fit, trying to look cool. If you look uncomfortable and self conscious it shows. A better solution would be to find something you can put on and forget about it.

The Comet is one of several Vanson models I'd consider if the right one came up at the right price at the right time.... So far, however, all of them I've seen have had BlackWatch / Government Tartan lining, which is a big no for me. Is that standard, or were there other options?
