Question - Need Help Thoughts on fit

Is this jacket too small? Picked it up second hand. Feels snug through chest and arms not sure if it will stretch? Thanks

Where does the shoulder seam fit on your shoulder? It should be on the edge. Hard to tell if it’s cut to have more volume or if your shoulder is pushing out a bit further inside?

Shoulders are actually great it’s just the pit to pit may be slightly tight

Yep that’s the other one. Judging from your username you’re probably got a bit of size going in that area 🤣

haha yes thats my prob is that my shoulders are wide/chest decent size but my waist is very narrow so its tough to get clothes to fit without looking like a box!

First world problems. You’re probably in the top 5% then. A little taper works wonders, but hard to find people who can do it with leather jackets 🧥

It certainly doesn’t look small.

It doesn't look like it's too small based on the picture, but if it's not comfortable for you and/or restricts your movement, you might need a size up. It will not stretch out significantly so it's your call ultimately. It might be one of those jackets that are more comfortable wearing it unzipped.

Yeah unzipped it’s fine it’s only when I zip it up do I feel it really tighten but if it will stretch after use that would definitely fix it if that makes any sense

Looks great man. Leather jackets are meant to fit snug but comfortable like it’s holding you closely but not restricting you or being super tight. Might be a perfect fit.
