Motorcycle jackets are short by design.


what you dont understand is that it doesnt suit a lot of ppl, especially guys with long torsos and long arms, especially if you are going to wear tees untucked

We understand, you don't like the way ToJ offerings are cut, can you go away now?

i actually like what MR TOJ is offering, especially the other leathers, which btw i am considering buying i am just offering an unbiased opinion on that moto fit, which imo is too short there is no use saying ''wear shorter tees'' or ''higher rise jeans'' if thats not his style besides the length, i think that moto looks great on him

I can't comment on that pic, can't see the whole proportions, but nothing bothers me more than a long leather jacket.. much rather have it cropped

same here not trying to **** on the product. the fit is beautiful everywhere else, but i think it would look nicer if it was just a little shorter than the t-shirt. maybe cover the belt line at most.

i think my tax refund check will go towards a toj leather.

Personally, mine is about short as I'd want. It hits around the middle/top of my belt (well, depending on pants) at the front, and just slightly lower in the back. It's definitely the shortest jacket I own. I think shorter jackets look a little awkward on me (more than usual, I mean).

The cropped thing looks good on some others, though.

But, indeed, hard to evaluate the one in question without a wider-angle shot.

Who all received a Moto recently? I received mine and the fit is off. The sleeves are at least 1" shorter and .5-1" slimmer from shoulder to cuff, the front jacket length is .5-1" shorter from collar to hem, and the shoulder to shoulder is around 1" wider than we discussed during the measuring process. Wondering if i got someone elses jacket... :/ I emailed TOJ, waiting for a reply

^ What were the measurements? I was actually wondering if I got sent the wrong jacket...I already asked Charly to clarify but haven't heard back yet. Probably not though; I think they just adjusted the measurements for me even after saying it was too late to do so.

An unbiased opinion is impossible.

it is impossible that you got someone else's jacket, the names for each person's jacket are attached to the garment all the way til it gets back to my house in finished form, where I pack them up individually and finish sewing them by hand.
We adjust measurements on the fly sometimes, because when we're on the factory floor looking up your order and assessing it, we need to make it so the jacket does not come out disproportionately (most people sizing a jacket cold would make a disproportionate jacket, I've found)...
If you have emailed Charly, he will get back to you.

yes, a shorter tee will help. He's covering the front pocket openings on his jeans with tee shirt already, and the picture doesn't lead to any ideas on how the top half balances with the bottom half. Thanks for your lovely insight otter.
