New (to me) Himel Bros/Goodwear Californian

I love that Ventura design, love the color. The leather looks really nice. You should have no problem getting those sleeves shorted by a custom leather jacket shop (around here, Johnson Leather does that kind of thing well).

 

And fwiw, I think the length is perfect

 

Envy!! But yes the sleeves are a bit long although they may 'ride up with wear'.

 

Just the sleeves; body is perfect. Wouldn't touch it, myself. Beautiful hide.

 

Body length looks good to me, just get those sleeves fixed and you're gold!

 

Nice.........

 

Leave the length alone. I can't imagine anyone else finding that jacket too short. Beautiful hide.

 

Length is long, if anything. Fix them sleeves and you got a practical Grail jacket

 

I agree- sleeves only!
Very nice

 

That is a great pattern as I speak from experience. The only thing that needs to be adjusted is the sleeves, maybe 1 1/2 inches. Be careful to not take in too much as the sleeves can always be made shorter but not longer. I concur with what others have said; the body length is fine.

 

handymike, you posted just before I did, and everytime you post, I keep looking at your avatar trying to figure out what it is? If you don't tell us, I have a suggestion for a new avatar: Wile E. Coyote, a distinguished gent of considerable influence.

 

...and "Super-genius"
as for my avatar, it's a guy who wanted more of a 3-d experience with his transistor radio, so he strapped one on his face. Others took offence @ Prof. Fate...
I can keep looking if you'd like or go back to the monkey.

 

Nah, handymike, I was just curious the significance of your avatar. I'll have to admit though my favorite is @Superfluous' John Belushi (Bluto Blutarsky) that Craig reinstated by popular demand.

 

What about this guy then?

 

Shorten those sleeves by 1" and you're:

Everything else is spot on perfect.

 

This is my fav avatar on the FL. This reminds me of what the first guy pushing that button on LOST must've looked like.

 

wow, the finale of that show left me so angry/disappointed that I guess I blocked out everything... this guy, right?

sorry to derail the thread....

 

I have to agree with everyone and say that you really don't want the length to be any longer than that. Just shorten the sleeves and it's perfect.

A gorgeous jacket overall!
