How could you look at that picture and not think it is absolutely perfect? Aero did you a favour as I don't think 27" would have looked as good!

don't over think it, the jacket couldn't look any better.
What's your heigth vs back length? For your short jackets I mean.

I'm 188cm six ft two - I find anything from 25.5 to 28 inches can look and fit fine. The back length isn't the whole thing - some jackets sit lower and also the front of a jacket may well look great on, say, a 25.5 inch back yet look strangely too short on a 27 inch back. It's a complex interplay of factors.

I've owned several Aero motorcycle jackets (bought used) and in the end to get the right fit and length I bought a brand new Cafe Racer and entrusted them with the body dimensions I supplied - they got it spot on (as they have with you)! They are the experts after all!

Thank you, yes, they are. I forgot about the .5 " tolerance

Man, the jacket looks just superb on you. Don't see any issues about the length, as close to perfect as can be, I think. Like others have said, don't overthink it, just wear the heck out of it, enjoy it and share used pics of it in another 6 months or 1 year :) and we'll all oohh and aahh over it ;)

Those are even better pictures. Don't believe I would want it any longer.
Thanks Fanch. You said you prefer 27 +/- 0.5. Believe it or not, this jacket was ordered 27 but came out 26.3". Now I think it's ok.
