Tall Fellas - How Long Are Your Backs?

Hi everyone. I just pulled the trigger on a new Aero Premier Highwayman that TB had in stock. It’ll be a week or so before the jacket gets here because it’s out on a fitting.

The jacket is a size 42, and the back length is listed as 25.75”.

For those of you who are over 6’, how long do you like your jackets to be? I’m about 6’3”, but most of my height is in my legs, so I find that a back length of 25”ish looks fine on me most of the time, but I usually wear my jackets open. I’m hoping that I’ll be able to wear this one zipped up without looking like I’m in a crop top!

Yeah, I'm in the same boat with the long legs/short torso combo.
Im 6'7 and ideal back length for "neatly covering the belt" is 25,5 inch

I'm 6' 3" and from my C7 to my natural waist is about 26.5"

So I need like 27.5" length minimum. It ***** - very few vintage jackets are that long. I have a vanson that is about 28" and is perfect.

Dang, my guy built like a snake over here! Lol

Yeah, it seems like Vanson has that magic ability to always fit “just right” in circumstances when other makers can’t
