It is not that simple, I think your best option is to get Thurston to help you. They have more pull when it comes to custom stuff.I’m very interested in the idea of adding a front drop independent of the back length - has anyone gotten Aero to do this before?
To add the front drop isn't just the front panels but the whole bottom opening needs to change, including all the panels the whole hem touches. If you just add to the front panels then it will look like 5* did it, and they have botched on that before, but things are much better now.
Basically you want the 1930 half belt curved bottom opening on your Hooch Hauler, it's actually quite a bit of either patterning work or make the longer jacket first and then expertly altered it "upwards towards the back". The hem curve is totally different. But you will get your front drop and more linear bottom hem opening length because the curve has more linear length.
The whole bottom hem line is curved on the 1930s half belt, button version known as the Maxwell,
The curve creates the front drop
Aero has made a Levis jacket before that is xzip and has a curved bottom/front drop, the birds of prey or something like that.
