At the end of the day it doesn't matter if H's jacket is too long or too short, what is important is the fact Yuca and I actually agreed on something. We've witnessed a miracle today. And I for one have been humbled by it.

H, are those the snuff suede or brown playboys?

They don;t looks shorter because you can see the rise of the cords.

You reckon the two suits above (both short) would look better if you could see a similar rise in the trousers? You're a better man than me if you can tell one is an inch and half longer than the other and I don't doubt you can tell as you have years of experience dressing people by eye.

If I can ever afford to get my tailor to make me a jacket (doubtful) I'll take you up on that, thanks.  Summer jackets are a big gap in my wardrobe.

I'll find the vid, it is a man, Marvin Gaye, who was very tall, in a high-rise tapered trouser with a long jacket, and yes I know it's more of a American Continental cut, (i think), but it really looks ridiculous having those features on a tall, thin man's suit.

I think the style was the American Continental. My point is, not matter how long the jacket, a tall thin man, looks ridiculous in a hi-rise trouser, which was the point Soggs used to make when we would go on about hi-rise slacks.
