Length of Xelement leather jackets??
I see all the chest sizes and waist sizes but I can't find the length anywhere. Plus there is no number to call for Xelement customer service and Leatherup and motorcycle superstore have no clue.
My issue is I'm 6'7 220 lbs and I don't want to buy a crop top jacket that is going to leave my midsection open to wind/weather and none of the local stores carry these.
The reviews are all good and the price is right. Just need to know the length.
Can anyone measure the length from the neck to the bottom of the jacket if they have a XL/XXL or larger leather jacket?
This is the one I'm looking at for reference.

I dont have one of this brand anymore, but one bit of advice on these. You see all the reviews about buying a size or two larger than normal? There's a good reason for those. I'm a XXL normally, but I was shipping these back and forth until I got one that fit..............in a 4XL.
Oh and I'm 6' 2". Another 5 inches and that jacket that I had woulda looked......................exactly like what you're NOT looking for. But that one was another style.

I'd suggest sending Leatherup an E-mail and ask them. Pretty good customer service.
I will say my XL retro brown is perhaps an inch long in the sleeves on me. The shoulders and length are pretty good. I'm 6', 190 lbs.

Ran way too small
As another has stated they run way small. I also had an issue with xelement vest stinking so bad that I hung it out in the shed for several weeks before my wife would let it in the house. I think it was some kind of buffalo leather and made in Pakistan. I had it in the closet for a few days then put it in the 'give away' sack without it ever being worn. I do not remember the length being very long.

I bought from them last year. I'm usually an XL but got an XXL after reading reviews. It barely fits, arm length is okay but body length is short. If I raise my arms up the bottom of the coat rides up above my belly button...real sexy when it drags the t-shirt up and my gut is hanging out. I'm 6' 2" and it's real close to going to goodwill. 6' 7"?? I'd be looking elsewhere unless they have a tall version.
