I would PM Hem, I just found this photo on an old thread and he didn't post a photo of the back.
I have the LL Bean Traveller, too, and was very disappointed when they discontinued it. It is the single most comfortable and useful sport coat I own. 'Course, that doesn't help you to rub that in, nobodyspecial. However, if you should ever see one on eBay or something in the future, grab it!Cascadian said:I was going to recommend the LLBean travel jacket too, one of which has been seeing me through airports, and sometimes through the office, for about a year. Was going to, but I couldn't find it on their website, nor the similar one Lands End offered.
There are also travel jackets at Duluth Trading. I've never seen one of those in the cloth so I can't comment on them, but perhaps they're worth considering too.

This is a great jacket for travel, very sharp, very comfortable and easy to dress up.
I do, but I'll have to round it up. I just had some pics from this past fall in NYC, but I can't find them. Here's one, but it doesn't help much!nobodyspecial said:Does anybody have a picture of the LL Bean Traveller to post?
So is this one, I'm afraid. [huh] A traditionally fitted jacket should cover your seat, completely ( you should be unable to see the down seam and pockets on the seat of your jeans). That said, you'll see jackets worn this short in most of the current fashion mags.thunderw21 said:The 38R fit me perfectly except the body was just too short.

'Rule of Ass' is a much better indicator for proper jacket length as arm length can vary significantly between individuals of the same height and physique. It's also helpful to measure from the collar seam down to the floor and divide by half, having the jacket hem hit at the midpoint.thunderw21 said:This jacket is only a couple inches shorter than the 'rule of thumb' when it comes to length (tip of the thumb).
