Hi guys and gals. Just need some quick advise. I am going to order a LC in standard goat, and I'm 6 feet tall. From other people my height, what back length should I get in this LC jacket? I know it's only 1 inch difference, but any advise would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Jonny

that's a loaded question my friend as we don't know how long your torso is. i have an averaged sized torso but short legs......short jackets look short on me.....even though i am technically short.

And it also depends where you want the jacket to hit. I like my jackets to be a little longer than what's SA. A good idea may be to get a jacket which has a length you like and measure that.

Thanks guys. I decided to go with 28 inches. I took the measurement from a jacket I always wear (non-Indy), and it happens to be 28! Thanks for the input.
Cheers.

Yes, but as stated above by G, it's all down to proportions: I'm 6'1" and 26" would be a little on the short side.
