If it's not to your shins, you're doing something wrong.


Seriously though, a jacket to your knees is absurdly tall. That's like wearing a dress. Hell, it's probably longer than most casual dresses.

1st. of all, as in all previous threads, no one cares or should care.

but for me: exact mid thigh is best. it shouldnt look like a race suit but some "style" is getting out of hand. especially this tube style with extremely long and slim tees and hoodies. looks like a condom to me and isnt even baggy, "G", or "hood". it even counters the pro long clothes argument, that you can move more freely in wide and long clothes, because those hoodies are so tight on your legs and go so far down.

really anything past your knees is too long. at Windells, Collin collins wouldnt even sell his stuff to short kids because he thought it would be too tall on them

My personal rule of thumb is nothing below the knees

cant let that shit touch your knees. then your sacrificing steeeze for mobility and your skiing could suffer. also gotta leave some room for your tall tees bro. a jacket to your knees theres no room for layering of tees and thus more steeze is sacrificed

I think it's all about what you're comfortable wearing. I personally would never wear a jacket that goes down to my knees, but I don't hate on people who do.

Okay measured, its about 2 1/2 inches above the knees. It looks good in gear, but I pretty much can forget wearing it to school. Skinny jeans and tall make my legs look a foot and a half tall haha
