Shorter work jackets

I’m really into the Mister Freedom cuts like the Ranch and Campus Blouse. They’re around 22” long from neck to hem (I’m 6’ tall and wear them in a 36). Anyone know of other brands similar to this kind of length? I like a lot of other designers out there but they’re usually too long in the body

6Ft and a 36? Tough fit. I've got a vintage Lee in brown twill, 1970s maybe? Very short in the body, even for me, and I like short waisted jackets. Might be a little blousy for you though as you must be pretty skinny.

Appreciate that - yeah in MF I wear a 36, and even my 38 iron heart type I that I have is too long and too big now. I’d love to see that Lee - I’m probably gonna sell my iron heart soon, it’s nearly new and just hanging in the closet.

It's a bit of an odd duck. No size tag visible, but all the other tags are in great shape. It's about 44 inches pit to pit and 22 1/2 neck seam to hem. I've not seen this model elsewhere. Registered MR black labels with a funny tall font on the neck label. Light weight fine brown twill, Big font brass buttons, and pearly pink/brown fisheye adjuster buttons.

Here’s a shot with a MF campus blouse, 22” length. Would love finding more of this stuff out there in the world.

My mistake. The adjuster buttons are not fish/cats eye. Round two hole. I gotta get my picture posting skills back. I haven't managed it since Photobucket did that thing years ago.
