Need a back panel measurement

Hi all! I am in a debate over a Raiders or ToD jacket and I was hoping that someone here about 6 foot 1 could give me a measurement on the back panel of their wested. I curious to see how long the back panel on a raiders is (from bottom of collar to bottom of jacket)

Also if someone could pass on the back panel measurement of a ToD jacket that would be appreciated too!

Thanks,
Kev

I think the only difference between the two is the TOD is 1" longer, I might be wrong...

I'm 6'1 and the back measured from the bottom of the collar seam (if you flip the collar up) is just shy of 26".

You might want to measure yourself from the base of your neck to the top of your pants to get how that measurement would be on you.

If you're longer in the torso or in the legs the jacket could look different. I have a pic of me in the jacket from the back somewhere...

I forgot to mention that it's a TOD Wested.

I think it's about the perfect length. I couldn't see getting an inch shorter.

Masterfulks - that length does look perfect...decision is made, ToD it is. Did you get an extra inch on the front of your jacket? if not any ride up problems?

At first I was going to do the extra inch thing with a Raiders Jacket. Then I decided to go TOD since the only difference would be an extra inch in the back (if I didn't get another inch on the front of the TOD).

So no I didn't do the inch in the front and it's not a problem.

That's probably another bodytype thing from what I could guess. If you had a little bit of spare change around your waist then the extra inch might be needed.

I would recommend specifying the cuff size. I love the smaller more fitting cuff. I don't like oversized cuffs hanging down on my jackets. I think someone told the stock cuff size was 12" or so. I got mine a little smaller. 11" I think.
