Slimmer, longer jackets?

I see people w/ jackets that seem to be more slim/athletic fitting but are still longer and steezy-looking.

Not only do I like the look of these jackets, but I like the snugger feel around my midsection. I don't like wide fitting, super loose jackets, but I do like them to be longer (past my butt, and I'm 5'11")

What brands or jackets offer this kind of fit? Most sites don't have pictures that accurately represent the fit of the jacket, so I'm kind of at the end of the rope here and decided to post on here.

Thanks all

the saga park city jacket is exactly like this.. I bought one at the end of last season as an off hill jacket but I've skied a couple days in it already this year. more of a shell jacket though

Dakine does have some cool looking longer jackets. But if you're not against looking at snowboard brands, check Volcom and Analog. I have one of each in M and both go below my ass.
I'm between 5'11" and 6' if that helps.

Definitely not against it! I love both those brands anyway so I'd love to check 'em out. Thanks!

My favorite these days is RIDE. The fits are fairly tailored compared to other brands, but they come down past my butt. They also make a number of parkas and fishtail jackets that are even longer if you want.
I'm 5'10", 170# for reference.

Saga Tailored fit jackets also check out Planks their jackets are mostly tailored. I just got a pair of the Saga Fatigue 2L pants with the tailored knee and I love the look/feel of them. Saga makes a great product.
