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

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. :M: :tup:

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

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

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.
