Critique my Sportcoat Length

[RobSay24]

Sorry for yet another sportcoat length thread but I came across a RLPL cashmere at a great price but I couldn't decide which length looked better on me so I bought both.

The first one is R and 2nd is L. Which should I keep? I'm leaning toward R. I like my sportcoats a little on the short side.

I like the L better also the shoulders on the L fit you better.

Post pics from the back. If you like 'a little on the short side' then go with R.

the RLPL coats usually run short for some reason ; their Longs will be like 31.5 BOC when that is usually a standard R

this coat R BOC runs 30.5 inches and if you are anywhere near 5'10 -6foot i would get the long. as that will still be a regular length on you.


the shoulders on the first one are strange.

Long, it flatters your height.

With the shots you've posted I prefer the long, but it's hard to say without seeing the back.

The length isn't the real issue. The shoulders and closed quarters make them both look really wonky. Also--forgive my ignorance of the correct technical terms--it looks like both jackets are drawn back over your shoulders, particularly in the case of the long jacket. Look at the front quarters: the angle of the hems are parallel to the ground.

Top is R and Bottom is L. I'm 6'1.5".

I lied, the long.

I think the shoulders are too wide.

 

[MrG]

Having seen the back, I now say the long for sure.

L. What size is this? Hook a brotha up and sell me the R. Send me a PM if 42 or 44.

definitely go with a Long .this is not even a matter of preference but of correctness.


remember, RLPL Long is a Regular.

Long looks good.

Lower buttoning point, re-shaped quarters, fixed shoulders.
