The barnstormer is 3/4 length and much heavier than yours and yes it is a little restrictive in the arms, but the absolute dogs dangly bits when it comes to warmth, designed originally as an aviators coat for open cockpits.......where it does get a little cold!!!!! I just love wearing mine when its really frosty out, it probably doesn't get as much wear as it used to. I thought about selling mine as I had put weight on, so it became a tight fit but I preferred to lose the weight rather than the jacket.
