Purchased the LC not long ago from a forum member and has been getting some wear lately. Thought I'd post a quick comparison of the two. (LC: 42 Chest, 25.5" Length Vs. ROLA: 44 Chest, 27" Length) - Both Novapelle
Front:
Back:
Front - Tucked Shirt:
Initially I thought the the LC was too short, but after getting some wear, I'm not too sure.

Length of the LC looks fine when the shirt is tucked in.
They both look great! I like 'em! They definitely look like "real" jackets and not costume pieces; and as your photos illustrate, they even work well with jeans and a t-shirt. (ROLA isn't bad even when the shirt is not tucked in!)

ROLA is the one for me. All the way. Just suits and fits you best. LC looks a little short to me

Same here. The longer 'coats' are actually more like old 'car coats' that kept your rump warm on cold car seats.
The shorter versions are easier to negotiate with when driving.....but either way, they both look great!
You have some fine examples in your stable to rotate through.

I wouldn't be able to make up my mind about which one to wear.
so....I'd probably just wear 'em both

The Raiders is a better length with your build to my eye.

They both look really good, but my personal favourite would be the Raiders one. I prefer the darker shade. As previously mentioned, they both go well with the jeans though.

My vote is for the ROTLA jacket. I have a Wested 42R and sometimes I wish it was a 44.
