That doesn't look bad, but what is it like when she is on the bike in the riding position?

I guess I'm just used to my men's jacket which pretty much covers my back side no matter what. Part of that is because the jacket is too big for me now.... but finding a new one that suits is hard. I'm particular.

Well you could always buy an x-large.... I don't like overly short jackets either!

Yeah but it would probably still be too short. They would just make it larger around and not any longer. I'm hoping to go shopping soon. I feel the need to spend some money. My problem is I know what I want, it is just finding it for size and dishing out the cash.

Racedoll, I have the Joe Rocket Jet Set jacket and it is plenty long enough for me and I'm 5'9.

I have had two other JR jackets and one refused to make room for boobs and was waaaay too short, the other made okay room for boobs, and was an okay length. This one has room for boobs and is long, but is a little too big for me. When I crashed the elbow pad moved too much and I ended up hurting my elbow pretty bad.

ETA: But it held up great in the crash. No holes, and only a tiny bit of rash that is only cosmetic.

I know this is an awful picture, but the only one I could find of the Jet Set jacket.

I have a JR that's too short....but that one looks decent.

If you like the gear that's a great price for a leather jacket. Good find Tigger!
