After buying my first Eidos from NMWA and now waiting for it to arrive, I'm wondering if there are any other shorter members who have purchased an Eidos or even a Formosa. I know one member mentioned he did at 5'4 and myself being 5'6/5'7, so I'm curious how these items worked out for others. I know more comes into play than height and everyone's body is different but just curious since these are longer jackets.

I am about 5'8" and I wear a EU46S in the Formosa and its spot on. Its a hair longer than my other jackets but it is no where near too long.

@gdl203 & @jtorres94

Great meeting you both today.

The Formosa in 46S seemed to run about 1.5" too long (at least for my tastes) on me, so Greg adjusted that measurement for my profile and pretty much left others alone.

@MurlSquirl

I tried an earthy, bottle green cashmere jacket (Formosa) that was stunning; really pretty drape and feel.

Eager to pick a swatch and get my first MTM jacket. So many books to go through, my god...
