IMO with your posture you should be looking for jackets with short backs and a front drop.
I think you could probably get away with a 24" back if the front was long enough to cover your belt.
That way you would not get all that extra material creasing and bunching in the back.
Sleeve length wise, i think the cordo is too short, but the brown is at least 1" if not more too long.
Have you ever had a 30's halbelt with a front drop?

Thanks for the tips here. I did have one, actually bought off the rack from Thurston when they still had thier store. Kept it from 2015 - 2020. Had a #10 zip put in it, wore it a lot, just didn't "love" the pattern. It was a heavy black Steerhide one.

Love the hooch but can’t abide by that center “gusset”. The video clearly illustrates why. I would def have one without that feature though. I know why it’s there and I can see it works but.....it’s just too...anatomical*

* in place of a more accurate descriptor.
Since that gusset is reminiscent of something I have spent almost my entire life pursuing then perhaps it is appropriate to make it a centerpiece of a nice jacket.
