I did read that. What is interesting is that a lot of the suits modeled for suitsupply on the site don’t follow that rule.
Hence the different responses you've gotten before. I don't think there are hard and fast rules. I've noticed in North America the preference is for slightly boxier, looser fitting suits and jackets compared to Europe. The appropriate length of a Jacket can depend on so many variables.
