How is the length of this jacket?
Thanks for that response Phil4. Older Schott jackets are pretty killer. I keep my eyes on eBay. Some of the newer jackets fit alright. But the leather and hardware quality is subpar these days. I've contacted Schott about a custom jacket a couple times in the last few years. Each time, they've...- APD

How is the length of this jacket?
It's true that I'm not fully satisfied with the jacket. Honestly, I'm pissed. But what's the alternative?

How is the length of this jacket?
Thanks for the poll responses I've received. Keep them coming. So far, everyone who's responded thinks that the jacket body is more than half an inch too short. That's no surprise to me. The jacket was made .75" shorter than I asked. I'd like to think it's no big deal. But finding clothes that...- APD
