      I’d be curious to see what the next size down looks like. IMHO, this is something I’d wear with a tee only, so I’d want a snug fit. YMMV

          Very nice jacket 👍
          I'd probably size down in this case, seems a bit big overall I'd say.
          It can be hard to size leather jackets in my experience, and you can't really mold/stretch/shrink them like denim. And sometimes what looks like a great fit in pictures may be too tight to be practical in real life.

            Size down camp and the arms are pleated to give you more reach if needed.

              Thanks everyone. I've got the size down coming for comparison.

                  I've got my money on the L being the way. With leather jackets, especially black ones with that rock n' roll-y vibe, I feel that trim as possible while still maintaining mobility / comfort is the ideal. I think you'll still have room in the shoulders and chest, plus the areas right now that look a little too big (bottom opening, sleeves, overall length) will get in the right range for you.

                    The bottom is hem is being a bit flared out partly because it's a skosh big, but also because it sits lower on my shorter torso so is being pushed out by whatever hips are there. In this case, I think the gussets actually exacerbate this because of the excess fabric bunched up here.

                      What a great look @pechelman

                      Sizing down is a good idea unless you want to exclusively wear it over a long sleeve + UHF 🙂

                      Looking forward to see pics of the L!

                      Use it or lose it.

                            @pechelman Too big. It doesn't give off a cool vibe.

                              Size down arrived and think this is an easy decision.

                              Over a tee and 12oz wabby. Side shot is with the jacket zipped. Can see tension around then hem for sure.

                              Over a tee, same deal with it being zipped in the side

                                @pechelman I think it looks great on you, the skin molds to the body quite easily, after some time you'll be able to layer even more if you want. 👏👏👏

                                            Sea horse spam. Loving this jacket. Surprised by its warmth on this chilly walk. Also this leather is so different from any other horsehide I've felt; this is so soft compared to others that feel stiffer and almost brittle.
