@simonc:

How long is this 101J in the back?

But as I m in the process of altering the dimensions, what are peoples recommendations?

[mclaincausey]

Yes G daddy like!

[ohighyo]

This is the shit that makes me love ironheart. What other company has a forum where customers can chime in on future shit!! next level shit you have created here Giles, or a monster I'm not really sure!!

[Snowy]

You know my vote right? little in the long side in back and sleeve

[Giles]

Was waiting for that…...

[Max Power]

Same here. Short and boxy is not my cup of tea.

[natehate]

i'm on the long side too

[simonc]

Ah well, that's me done then.  But personally I'd go for the true length it was cut in, but for the masses perhaps go a maximum one inch longer than the original, and that is fucking hard for me to say that, but any longer than that and we are moving into 90's stone washed bullshit and you can watch your sales dry up before you eyes.  Remember this a bike based company and all bike jackets (same as cowboy, flight and trucker jackets) were worn on the hips so when you ride your not sitting on your jacket.  I personally think long denim jackets are the height of sartorial low self esteem ie those of you wanting the look but who are too worried about hiding your fat ass with long shirt tails and long jackets, those demanding a longer cut with something that has had a over 80 years of development, can either head straight to walmart or fuck off.  But that's just me

[hajduk]

G is on the long side too…

[Giles]

The fundamental point is that not all people have the same torso length, so for the jacket to sit on the hips of say Tatmantall the body would have to be a completely different length than if it were to sit on the hips of say georgeel.  That is precisely why Lee offered the 101 in Short, Regular and Long.  But hey, what the fuck do Lee know?

[simonc]

Indeed, what do they know, so like I said add an inch and go regular.

[natehate]

hey simon, the jacket length issue for some of us isnt to "cover our asses"
its so the jacket doesnt end at our belly button's
thats not really a good look

[simonc]

Fair enough but I usually wear a shirt under a jacket so no one see's mine.

[tatmantall]

Wow Simon…. I ask for more length because I'm 6'6"... I love the jacket to sit where it traditionally would and was intended to for the average person however IMO I definetly feel like when a traditional cut jacket sits above where it was intended to like in my case it looks like I robbed a fifth grader of his denim jacket. Furthermore its hardly to cover my "fat ass" as despite my height I weigh 170 lbs and have a 30" waist. I don't feel like just because I'm tall it means that I should have to go to "Walmart" or "fuck off" either, I would just like to have a jacket that fits me THE WAY IT WAS INTENDED; therefore I offer my input so us taller people are not forgotten.

^ church!

[simonc]

Sounds like a tall order bro
