Vox, this outfit makes you appear much longer and leaner than usual. I like. I believe you mentionned in one of your Steed threads that your jackets are usually around thumb length, whereas this one is longer than that. Could that explain the resulting visual effect? Color combo might have something to do with it as well.

Thumb length (about the same as fingers curled) works for me. If I just look at where the jacket falls vs. your hands/fingers, it does appear too long. However, I don't get that impression when I look at the whole.
"I love things that are Great! Good things are fantastic!"
I feel there are two guides to optimal jacket length. First, it's got to cover the ass. Once that's done, it shouldn't be shortened, but it can be lengthened a tad (not much) depending on your height for overall balance with your trousers.
Once you get that dialed in the way that you like, then you can reference the length that you have established to where that length falls on your hand. That point will differ by individual, so you don't start with, say, the "finger curl" method.

What's with the funky tie knot, this rear-blade showing seems the equivalent of a lady's bra-strap showing but a lot less sexy. Seen this on the 'Foo, what's the deal?
