Long jackets suck?

ok so what i've noticed for the up and coming season is that a lot of companies are making long jackets, which seems a good idea,but seeing some of the new jackets from orage and armada, they suck, they are super long whats cool but super slim at the same time, and the arms are fitted, i think is sucks. i would preffer if then made a long jacket with a nice bit of bag and long arms, so they're scruntched up.

its because everyone complains that jackets are made 'fat / big' and not 'tall.' they are just tall fit jackets, made to fit skinny skier kids, only longer. as opposed to normal xxl jackets, which are made to fit big and tall people, hence they are tall, but also fat. same thing with normal and tall fit shirts, they are the same, only taller. i agree though, i don't want a tight jacket, i don't want anything tight. i like seeing 'relaxed' or 'loose' fit as opposed to 'long' fit. but who cares, i'm buying a tall fit jacket anyway, its the style, if you don't want it huge, buy a jacket that fits normal.

The sizes are the width they would normally be, they are just longer. So if you usually wear and xl and you buy an xl tall it wont't be tight, it will fit the same as a regular fit just longer. Seriously not a problem. If you don't want a long jacket, don't buy one.

that is exactly what any customer service rep will tell you if you are asking about size. you are expected to buy the same size you normally would, it would just be taller because that is what we like.
