Thanks all for the feedback. Seems people were split over the Schott car coat. Those who didn't care for it, what was off with that one?

Looks pretty good. Sleeves are a bit long for my taste but lotsa folks like them there
Makes sense. I haven't worn that one much. I wonder if the sleeves will land shorter on my wrist/hand as it gets broken in and develops some more rolls/creases around the elbows.

Nothing particularly wrong with the fit, more so that the extremely long silhouette is unflattering on a leather jacket

So close, torso fits amazingly imo, but I would be uncomfortable with both the length and the sleeve length

I'd usually prefer a longer length as well...
but sometimes I see guys on here wearing stuff I'd feel looks too short on me personally, but they pull it off - yours looks like one of those cases too.
Maybe the watch helps make it look like the right length.

I’m on the fence, I want more opinions, it’s a little tight to button as well.

If you’re feeling it’s too tight to button, then it’s probably not worth keeping unless you plan on losing a lot of weight.
The sleeve is too short

@WolfofStateSt Definitely NO in my opinion.
Although the sleeves are short, I think it looks ok in the pictures. But since you want opinions, I don't think it's the right one.

Do you like it? That's all that matters.
But if as you say, you're on the fence, then you already know your answer.
The sleeves would be too short for my liking.
If it’s tight to button now opinions from others won’t change that and it will still be too tight.
If you kept the jacket the tightness of fit will always be nagging and the likely end result is that it will be worn less and less.
For me the only opinion which counts is my own. Regardless of what someone else might think if I’m happy and comfortable with the particular look/style/fit etc. of an item of clothing that’s all that matters as I’m the one who’s going to be wearing it.
