Trust your gut feeling.
If shoulders don't fit, nothing will fit.
Hi everyone this is my first post but I have been following a lot of the threads and just wanted to thank everyone for their shared experiences for this noob leather jacket junkie!! I just unboxed my first higher Tier leather jacket, a 1930’s premier Highwayman in cordovan FQHH and I have fallen in love. I was concerned about the fit as I have wide shoulders as compared to my waist but Chloe at Aero recommended the gussets and added .5 in to each shoulder, it is a size 44. I am happy with the fit, anybody have some feedback?

That looks as good it gets. How's the mobility feel?
Really good actually, I mean it’s stiff as cardboard right now but still no mob issues. I can actually use it for my motorcycle which is great.

Looks as good as it gets which isn’t easy with the premier highwayman in my experience. Congrats.

Two similarish jackets. Which would you guys keep?
My immediate view is that 1 is more visually interesting.

I like the design and length of the first one(tho both fits you amazing imo), so that would be my personal choice
First fits you better, but personally not sold on the bottom pocket placement or neck strap.
Second one is not a flattering fit on you, looks just a bit too loose.

First has a runny nipples look lol. I'd keep neither personally.

The angle of the photo isn’t great, try standing further away from the camera.
My suspicion is that it is too big in the shoulders, but can’t say for certain without clearer photos
