Hi guys. I am new here. I was wondering if you guys think this vintage jacket is too short or if it is ok. I am a tall guy and am used to wearing longer jackets. I am mainly looking at the waist line. Arms are ok even though in the pic it looks short. My arm is bent. Do you think it is too short or an ok length for a vintage bomber.

It looks short in the arms as you said, but the waist length looks fine for a leather jacket.

If I am not wrong. The design is base should be like a bomber so, it is a little short on the arm and the lenght. It is suppose to give out a puffy image but, on your picture, it looks like it has been stretch in order to accommodate your frame.

Thanks guys. I appreciate it. The pic is a little misleading on the sleeve. It actually goes down to the end of my wrist close to where it meets my palm. I have the fabric pushed in some in the picture but it is hard to see.

So you guys think the wasit length is good?

Yes you are right it is a cooper bomber style jacket.

Well, if you are wearing the leather jacket in a more rock & roll / R&B style than it is perfect. Leave it unzip or half zip but, if you are looking for something like a bomber than it is short.

Thanks. I planned to wear it out in the winter time casually with jeans & boots. Nothing crazy mainly with t-shirts underneath, thermal type shirts or collarless 3 button shirts.
Kind of going for a 50s style look somewhat.
