This is a utility jacket in 100% handwoven cotton with AZO free dye, made in India by Mati, in red. It has multiple pockets and measures 18.5 inches in length and 20.5 inches in sleeve across every size.

Both the sleeve and the body length are identical in every size — only the chest and shoulder change. It is graded for width rather than height, so the proportions stay the same and the fit depends on your frame rather than your size.
