Is my leather jacket too big?

Hi

Is my leather jacket too big? Or should the sleeves be this long?

 

[Dany McDonald]

Yeah. One size too big.

Whole thing looks too big, not just the sleeves, sorry.

Try zipping it up … and then let’s see it .
I say that because it looks ok in your shoulders .

Here’s what I can share with you about the sleeves . Real Motorcycle jackets, not fashion jackets, are going to be long in the sleeves so that when you reach forward to grab the handle bars the sleeves aren’t to ride up above your wrist bone.
The front of a real mc jacket has a big wind flap as yours does , so that there’s an overlap to keep the wind from leaking thru the zipper. So you need to zip it up for a better idea as to the fit of the jacket . Lastly if you ride a MC you want it just a little on the large side for layering a jumper or a shearling vest underneath on cold days .
That’s all I’ve got

So it should look like that?

You have to show us a photo with the jacket zipped up so we can see the true fit. When it’s opened up like you have it it looks too large in the photo.

I do not see a photo.

Yeah -- where'd it go? I saw it earlier.

 

[Dany McDonald]

Gone riding!

 

[Chandler]

Gone riding!

Goin' up the country?

So glad that it isn't just me... Seeing no photo...

What leather jacket would that be?

 

[Southoftheborder]

And there he was, gone...

Bit odd, seems he didn't like the truth.

 

[FlakMagnet]

it wasn’t the size and fit of the jacket that mattered. It was the friends we made along the way.

Was it something I said ?

I think he got his answer
