Extremely Customized Himel Bros Grizzly

[MickeyPunch]

Jacket looks amazing but I agree it looks too short, and I prefer shorter jackets. The hem is at elbow level.

I dig it. It is a distinctive cut, but I'm a fan of high waists on jeans and jackets. Coats are another story, if you get the differentiation. It might be a little limiting if it were someones only jacket, but with dudes' collection, it's nice having options, and Dave really managed to make it work without looking like a franken-mod. Too bad Cali isn't an open-carry state. A Tom Mix style holster and nickel Winchester would look sweet with it.

I agree with what Marc wrote. The color combo and materials are superb! It does have a cool western vibe. The fit to my eye is just too short. I’m surprised to hear myself say that because I was encouraging you to go much shorter and I think you have with great success. But to me this looks 2” too short, even with the mega high rise jeans. I’d personally want a more significant front drop, even if the back length were left alone.

Totally fair. I dig it, but I know that it's a bit extreme. I don't think I would have gone this short if it were my only jacket, but given that it'd certainly not and I have other jackets of various lengths, I went all out and went short. I also just really like the proportions of shorter jackets in general. I totally get that it's not for everyone though.

eye catching for sure.. you wont be unnoticed in too many places.
"knowing you" here on TFL this jacket is very consistent with your personal style, and I get it 100%. not sure it will translate in other places.
that said, its you, its your jacket, you like it. enjoy it

Yeah ill be curious to see how people like it in the real world. I've gotten a couple compliments already, but we'll see what normal people think of it as time goes on. Either way, I'm thrilled.

I absolutely agree.
OD green does as well, but maybe not quite as universally appropriate as this.

Yeah thats pretty versatile, but I think ecru tops everything personally.

The hem is below the elbow. It's hard to tell as the creases haven't set in yet, but it's below the elbow. Of course it's totally fair to think it's too short. I know not everyone will dig this.

Haha yeah that would look cool if I could get away with it. And yes if this were my only jacket it might be extreme, but I have two other lighter/mid brown jackets that are longer and more versatile. I don't need another "standard " jacket. I wanted a show stopper, statement piece and I got that.

I think it looks great on you. It’s a statement but you are pulling it off. Very unique look.
