A true BIFL jacket, the Stevenson Jacket made by Boathouse. I’ve had mine for over 15 years, rowed multiple seasons in it, wore it shoveling snow, commuting in NYC, and hiking. A waterproof 3 season jacket you can still purchase.bigkinggorilla t1_jbt6nna wrote

Seeing that other people are talking about it being for rowing, I’m guessing that’s to keep your low back covered all the time. If it was the normal length it would ride up every time you reach forward.
You don’t want it to be longer in front for… actually I don’t know why. Style? But the back part makes functional sense.

You are correct but you can actually sit on it and still have full range of motion.
