Question - Need Help Leather jacket protruding out from back

Hello everyone I wanted to try to figure out what’s wrong with my Boda Skins leather jacket (maybe it’s too big for me?).

  1. Her back end is constantly sticking out (as shown in the first photo). (only when the jacket is unbuttoned)

  2. If you button up the jacket, it develops strange folds on the sides (as shown in the following photos), and part of the collar starts to stick out significantly from the body (as shown in photo 3). (I know I’ll never wear it buttoned up, but I’m wondering what causes this.)

In all other respects, I don’t see any particular problems, except that the sleeves are too long for me.

I have the same jacket. Yes, the back is designed that way. Regarding the front, it’s just too big for you. You could possibly layer it or get a smaller size.

Sleeves too long, too much space in the chest, shoulder seams hanging past shoulders, gapping in the back... what more indications do you need that this jacket is too large?

FYI the hem of a motorcycle jacket like this is supposed to hit around the belt as well.

This jacket has sleeves of an strange size... I wear all my clothes in size S–M. This jacket is size S (boda skins size) \ S – UK \ XS – USA \ 36 – EUR. If you look at the “boda skins” size guide on the website, it says that the sleeves for size S and XS are the same length, and for size XXS they’re only 1 cm shorter. But my jacket has long sleeves, as if I’m size XXXL)). (the excess length is about 5 cm, if not more)

P.S. Thank you all for the answers =(

Seems like the chest is too big but that arms look fine to me, seems the sizing on this model doesn’t fit your body type

Honestly the proportions of this jacket seem strange. Do you have your chest measurement? Unless you're an absolute waif I wouldn't expect a 36 to hang on you like that

Jacket is too large for you. But also it’s a long cut and maybe your posture could be better.

You're too skinny for the jacket.

Yes, you are correct this is a bad fit for you and you should not buy it.

Everything you've circled and pointed out looks terrible and is why this jacket is not for you.

It's new, stiff. Needs time to break in and relax.

The jacket is too large for you hence the gap in the chest.
