Aero jackets: front vs. back length?

[holdencain]

Greetings!

After reading all the great posts and trying to decide on my first jacket, I often see folks specify in their order "front vs. back length"?? Sometimes it is "sloping", sometimes it is "Back 2 inch longer".....most recently in Jan's 30's HB it was "front and back same length".??

Can someone explain what motivates this consideration? I am currently still deciding on model.....Highway vs. HB vs. Cossack.."Oh, my!". And how one might specify for each model, and why, based on your experience with ordering/wearing the jackets in your closet?

Thanks,
H

Aero offers some fine leather jackets in a "standard" shape. The 1930's halfbelt comes with a sloping front. If you want the front and back the same length or just a slight sloping front, just tell them and they will be happy to make your jacket as you like.
Some customers ordered a longer back-length for they often wear it on a motor cycle thus giving it more protection.
Others just may like the look of a longer front.
In most cases it is just a matter of personal choice and taste.
Hope this is of help to you.
