Been wearing the Vanson Comet PLU3 quite a bit these days.

Really nice Vanson. Can I ask what the back length is on this jacket? It would seam to me this is the perfect length but my understanding was the PLU-3 added 3 inches to the length of the standard Comet which would make the original jacket crazy short!

Thank you. This is a size 42. From bottom of collar to bottom, back length is about 25.5 inches. Insurrection is listing this size as having a 26.25" back length. I did buy this jacket from a lounger a year or two ago, so don't know how much older it is.

My kids go to a pretty conservative school. I get some curious stares but no comments. At work no one mentions them. Out in public I very rarely get a comment from someone (maybe 2-3 times/year). The other 2 tone Diamond Dave I have has received the most compliments (lots of "nice jacket!"). Black guys make up maybe 80% of all compliments followed by Asian guys and I think I've had maybe 2 compliments in my life from white guys. One guy flagged me down in a parking lot and really wanted to know where to get a Grizzly like the one I got from Steve S.

^ That makes me LOL. We have a granddaughter in a private Catholic school (pub schools here suck and they're pretty reasonable). When I go there in my "work wear", I def don't fit into the suit/sportcoat crowd, and that's OK. I think the women like it though, so maybe that's why the guys look funny ;)
