Yeah I too thought the body length being almost as long as the sleeves was odd. They most likely had to shorten the sleeves because they were too long to begin with, so I was wondering if the body needed to be short too - but since Dave said it was supposed to be a longer jacket, I thought maybe it just has to be that way. I’m guessing Dave would tell me to go pound sand if I were to ask for second remake though.Well when John Chapman designed that pattern it was not a long style:
That jacket was 1 size too large for me, but you can see the proportions are completely different.
IMO that Goodwear Imperial has "correct" vintage proportions, the Himel above looks too elongated to my eyes, the body is almost as long as the arms!
