I'm getting set to order a Barbour International Jacket pretty soon here. I'm wondering if anyone has any comments on the short vs long versions of the jacket. On the site, the short jacket has a listed length of 28 inches and the normal jacket has a listed length of 31.5 inches. How does this translate into the real world? I'm not that tall, only 5'9. Will the shorter jacket sit better?

I checked out Barbour International Jacket and it seems the 28" version is for women. I'm the same height as you, and my Belstaff (similar to Barbour) fits me perfect. Take the normal jacket.
