: : And I must admit that it's a very nice jacket. If it weren't for "the Patterson jacket" (that's what I'll call it, not knowing the name of the company) I would have been completely satisfied with it, I guess.
: : But there's something that troubles me (not the Ark): how long should the jacket be? How far below the waist should it reach? I always thought it was more or less waist-length.
: : Authenticity aside, if (make that "when") I order the Patterson jacket, will it be possible to get it shorter in the body? Patterson, I know you're lurking out there, please answer.
: : Cheers,

While I'm flattered, I do have to point out that the only reason I seem to be making the most noise about the jacket is because I was the particular one that saw the actual original jacket.
On the length - the jacket should come to rest just at or slightly below the top of your rear pockets on a pair of jeans. It's really not a waist coat.
Hope this helps - wear the Wested well!
Cheers!
