Im 6'4" for reference in my pics. I could have maybe .5"-.75" longer to be perfect. But im happy as is. I found the 526L to be too long. Covered too much of my jeans making it difficult to move when buttoned all the way. Left me no access to any of my jean pockets aswell

Great sbg tux @GoBruins

So @pillowPANTS is freckle 6'4 & found the xtra length a bit troublesome it's amazing how people are all so different as plenty of folks under 6 feet need the extra length  cause of a long torso or whatever

Just thinking about what size will be beat for me . . . .

[pillowPANTS]

Ya dude. If i wore my pants as low as i used to then the longer length would be fine. But since im an old man now and wear my pants where they are supposed to be i found the length a lil bothersome. Mainly cuz it was so fitted tho. Used to grab the pocket clip of my knife and pull it out when I lifted my arms (so annoying)

The balance between extra length and too short is a really hard one on a type III IMO. I felt like my lefty trucker was a little long, but once I warm washed it it shrunk up to just about perfect. My black duck type III feel short whenever I wear an untucked shirt.

^Agreed
Great looking length on yours PP. I'd jump on that. But the M on me won't cover the belt - I'm 6'1'' tall but quite slim in shoulders, chest and waist. Shirt tucking preference aside, my 2526j is half an inch longer and only just covers the belt. L in this is visibly too large everywhere else on me. So, not much of a choice for me in this I'm afraid….

We like to make your decisions easy…...

Indeed, and in effect sparing my wallet from time to time [emoji6]

Mine arrives Monday. I opted for the 42, as my 101j and 9527j are both 42.
I guess the worst that could happen is more $ for a swap to an L.
Fingers crossed….

I got my 42 a couple of days ago and it's grown on me.  At first, the upper arms looked massive because the sleeves are a good inch longer than I'd like and that bunches them up.  But when I compared it to my 42" 526J, the upper arms were identical in width, so definitely the length and bunching that made them look so weird.

After a long soak and now having worn it for a few hours, the arms have calmed down and don't look so strange.  They're still long and wrinkled, but bearable.

As for length, at 5'11", it lies at least 1" over my belt, so definitely not short on me.  I like it a lot.
