The Bukta ones I've seen advertised with raglan sleeves. To be honest, I've never seen another one of these, in this kind of fabric. I've come across a few suede ones, but they tend to be cut bigger.
These are the seller's pictures; I hope to get more tomorrow, if the weather's a bit better.
It is indeed very, very short. With a pair of reasonable reproduction 30s jeans, the front just about covers the waistband, so on the verge of too short, but not quite. It may very well have been a ladies jacket, though the style was identical for men and women. I would point out that there is no bust shaping, so probably a men's jacket. They are typically shown quite short in the illustrations, and a Tailor and Cutter pattern I have for a "golf blouse jacket" is for a rather short jacket - to fit 36 chest with 18" sleeve forearm (me, essentially), the jacket is 19 3/4" long. That's even shorter than this Macintosh!
