Recently got this schott aviator jacket. Wondering if the sizing is ok, aside from the sleeve length which I plan on correcting. I do have a vintage 613 that is trimmer and shorter but I have a fairly long torso.
This style of jacket is historically a bit longer. But to be fair the medium is an inch shorter in back length at 25.5 inches which would likely look better.It's not too big at all imo. It's just way too long for the style.
Historically an aviator style jacket size 42 would have a back length of about 23". Front drop of 2" to 3".This style of jacket is historically a bit longer.

No it isn't. Historically, aviator jackets like this are usually shorter. This jacket is too long in the body as well as in the sleeves I know you said you could take care of the sleeves, but you can't fix the body length issue.This style of jacket is historically a bit longer.

These are the proportions I'd aim for.True but remember the old catalogues mention that men of 6'0 or taller could get a Long version that adds 2-3 inches.
The jacket isn't too short. You are just wearing jeans with quite a low rise in these photos.For comparison this is my size 42 613, which has always felt a bit too short to me.
Yea I guess that makes more sense. But not all my Jeans are a traditional high rise, thats why I wanted a longer jacket but overdid it I guess.The jacket isn't too short. You are just wearing jeans with quite a low rise in these photos. I always am forced to wear that jacket witg high ris
