Cropped Jackets and Chavarria Trench Bomber
I like cropped jackets for proportions and mobility with high rise pants but most of the stuff made for men is too long. I think I need around a 23-24" body length depending on the measurement point so the jacket ends near my waist. Women's stuff either won't fit right or is too sterile (Uniqlo) or effeminate/feminine looking for my taste.
Does anything like these Willy Chavarria jackets (see first 3 images) exist for sale? Particularly love the wide lapels and long collars. I've looked through some of the previous questions on cropped jackets already.
I have found these ladies' trench bombers by James Street, but they are more streetwear in design, a bit pricey (though they have a 40% sale), and I need to verify the sizing. Addendum: what color do you think is more versatile here- milk or indigo? I'm leaning towards indigo, but maybe I just don't have the vision for a white jacket (4th img).

I do like all the old vintage styles (largely 1930s & 40s, some 50s)- ski jackets, ricky jackets, cycling jackets, flight jackets, various workwear, etc. - so if anyone's aware of stuff like that I'd love to see.
This one seems great, very simple (5th img).

wtf is an 'effeminate' jacket
just a general sentiment on the design. I know it don't need to exist
You'll really have to find better words, I don't think anyone knows what you mean honestly. It's not exactly a dress.
That's fair, it's hard to describe. Just ignore that part then. Thanks for the feedback.
look for Lee Rider/Stomrider style jackets, older Carhartt Detroit jackets. Go for repros if you can't find vintage
Thanks. I'll keep those in mind though I feel they are quite a different design from what I want presently.
I mean. Willy Chavarria makes them.
Does he sell them too? I checked the store but I don’t see these jackets. I’m not familiar with purchasing from designer brands. I may try to make a similar one myself.
I think if you just search "cropped trench" you'll get a lot of options
yeah these are from his fw25 show, so they should be releasing alongside the entire collection near the end of this year
That’s cool. Didn’t know it worked like that. Will probably be over $1000
Gracias
Willy's jackets are usually around $500-2000, and they tend to drop a bit in end of season sales too
(like 10-20% discount for most items)
