I think they changed the length a couple of years ago... Still a length that is comparable with early to mid 60s sacks, I have such a short sack jacket that dates to 1964... But the slightly longer cut of most sack jackets is for sure better...

I agree which what you are all saying about the Keydge and i hate them when they appear fitted and short.

Its the reason i opted to get one a size bigger (i know Moose does the same thing)..

Its a slouchy cardigan of a jacket and i think it works when worn loose.

I only own one and don't plan on getting another to be honest.

A Brooks Wash N wear jacket is infinitely superior in my opinion.

Yeah.  That short, boxy cut doesn't work for me.

The buttons on Keydge are nasty too. Of course it is possible to change them, but the rest of the jacket doesn't do it for me either.

That's the Topsman, be careful with the modern one I believe it is a slimmer fit. The old ones are tough to find and normally in some horrid plaid. And im mean horrid for me, which is pretty fucking horrid.

It's actually not the Topsman. The Topsman is a step better than the Topster, but it's still unlined and unvented. Pendleton made a jacket yet another step above the Topsman with a vent and half-lining (but still unstructured). Beyond that, the patterns are also more subtle. Most of the examples I've seen of this jacket are a solid khaki or green. Mine has a thick Glen plaid of green and black. Mine's still pretty loud but the jackets I'm talking about are generally quieter than the Topsters or the Topsmans (Topsmen?)

Typically when I wear my Topster, it's in an ultra-casual scenario. Sometimes I wear a plaid flannel shirt or something similar under it for comfort. With the dressier Pendleton sport coat, I rarely wear anything but a solid shirt.

Yeah just found one I was watching. Thought it was a Topsman but has a hook vent. Well there's a new one on me.
