Default Jacket??????????????

i have a leather jacket from wilsons leather and i like the length of it its looks good. i just bought a joe rocket UFO textile in a mediumand it is shorter then my leather jacket that is also a med.it seems to short, it fits good and i looked at the measurements on the site and it says that i should be a med or maybe a small. any feed back on the length would help! it falls right at the belt of my pants. i wear jeans no rididng pants.

That's right about where it should be. Bike jackets are usually shorter than regular type jackets.
Just don't ride with the Wilsons though, it won't be worth crap in a crash...and no armor.
Sometimes thebike jackets will ride up on you a little, but no big deal. If it has the 8" zipper or 360 degree zipper for pants, that keeps it snug and where it needs to be. Oh yeah, ditch the jeans and get riding pants with armor. Jeans shred in an instant.

+1 on what dwhite said. The jackets are shorter (right at the belt-line as they should be), jeans suck in an accident, and riding pants are awesome in case you crash.

Yeah; cars, motorcycles, mountain bikes, road bikes, pocket bikes, roller skates...if it has wheels I crashed it. Except for Segways...haven't tried one of those yet.
