I am absolutely in love with my Old Times jacket. It's incredibly comfortable, durable, and frankly it's the bee knees in terms of looks IMNSHO.
But it's short. It's slightly tight across the midsection but kind of in that "this is how leathers are supposed to fit" kind of way. But dear lord is it short. I wear suspenders in cold weather to keep my ass crack from freezing when it pulls up in the back.
I don't know of a way to have leathers lengthened, so I'd like to try a 56 and see if that works any better. It's a long shot I know, but I love this jacket so much I'd rather not have to sell it and buy something different.

Is it still new enough that it still has some stretching to do? As far as being short, you could wear something under it.
It's four years old and has been through hell and back :) it's very well broken in and comfortable, just short.
and expensive. Bummer. Maybe somebody that does leather repair could find some tastefull way to add material ???

That's where you're wrong. By pointing out how short it is, I've made it clear it was never near my asscrack. :P
