Custom Aero CR too big in arms?

My custom brand new cafe racer from Aero just arrived. it looks great from the front, but the arms are massive near the shoulder. I don't think this is because of the gussets. I have other leather jackets with gussets where the arm hole stay fitted, without losing mobility.

This was $1,400, should I be concerned that this doesn't fit correctly? It feels like it's three sizes too large in the arms.

Thanks!

I does look odd. The elbow looks off as well. I have a custom made jacket made exactly like this to accommodate the shoulder and the elbow armour. Have a look if you have the armour pockets in your jacket. Get in touch with Aero. Will be a pain in the arse to send it back. Unless you take up gym or motorcycling.

A picture of the back would be good. It looks as if the back is also very massive.
This is what mine looked like and it was two sizes too big (for a trim fit)

It almost looks like they sewed two different sizes together? Id send it back, if you dont feel good about it you wont wear it and for 1400$ you should feel great about it.

From my conversations with Carrie from Thurston, the CR pattern is fuller in the upper back area to accommodate a fuller muscular chested/armed guy. The board racer is a lot slimmer in the upper arms and back.
