I want my next jacket to be a cafe racer and this looks but but too short for me. How tall are you? Besides still waiting for my Aero to arrive soon! GLWS!

Hey @cl206
The jacket is ~60cm long in the back, not much of a front or back drop.
It would be okay if it was longer, but then the zipper would need to start higher up or have a two way zipper.
Otherwise the jacket will choke you when you sit down zipper up or at least rise a lot.
I'm 172-173cm tall.
Here's how it looks on me:

Yep looks good on you! Im 178 cm and my aero coming soon has a 25.25 back length about 64cm.

Personally I'd like it shorter, around 58cm.
Now ASSUMING (big assumption) we have similar length tastes and have similar body proportions..
If ~58 is ideal for me then ideal for you would be:
58/172*178 = 60.02cm.
If we say that ~60cm is ideal for me then that would translate to:
60/172*178 = 62.09cm for you.
Anyway, I'm sure you'll have a better idea of whether this would work for you or not when you get your Aero.
Obviously different pattern/style jackets with the same length can sit/look very differently, but should still give you a good idea yeah.
