Maybe it's just me, but that jacket looks 1-2" too short (and since the arms look good, I'm thinking it's not because the model is too tall).

I know it's all the rage for the hipsters but it's surprising to see it from them. Then again, there's a reason Yoox has is it for $640...

Not to quibble, but I'm 6"3 and most well proportioned regulars will cover my fly and a bit more - this looks to be at least .5" too short from there. Just my .02 :)

It looks like the sleeves are too short for the model too and they just hiked up the shirt cuff as well to give it the appropriate amount showing. Look at how exposed his wrist bone is.

Caruso is always really short. I'm 6'2 and get away with wearing regulars, but their regulars are about 1.5-2 inches too short. I just ordered two 38Ls from Caruso that are just long enough. Caruso is naturally short.

This suit is a lot like the Caruso I bought from Yoox a couple of years ago, which is also quite short, and has been removed from my rotation with the purchase of better fitting suits.

Would definitely work for a 40S person.

I'd try to cop it if Yoox had measurements.
