Wow, you finally got your jacket. Congrats! I think the sleeves might be too long (2" maybe?), not sure if it gets cold where you live but the sleeves (bicep/elbow/forearm) can probably be trimmed, shoulders Can probably be taken more in.

Looks pretty nice but it does look big,
For me shorten the sleeves and the overall length.
The sleeve length is subjective but I like when they hit Past the wrist and ideally a trucker should sit at the belt

Be careful asking for fit feedback as this reflects personal preferences. :D

For me this is a bit too large - an inch or two too wide at the shoulders, a couple of inches too long. But it's wearable; kind of like a floppy over-sized denim jacket from the 1980's.

Probably could take an inch off each measurement (shoulder, p2p, length, sleeve length, waist, but hip looks about right) and slim up the poofiness of the sleeves. Neck opening is slightly big too.

Is that the distressed buffalo? Has some good shading going on already.

I think you could go down a size and reduce the sleeve and body length by 2”. It’s tricky with trucker/type III, what have you jackets. I’ve noticed across a broad range of makers...They just make them too long. It’s supposed to be a short jacket.the chest and shoulder look great so maybe custom dimensions are the way to go.

Is it an off the rack jacket?
I think you need the chest circumference but 2" less shoulder, sleeve length and body length.
I second the others, that a trucker jacket has to be more short and trim.

It was a made to measure standard trucker pattern . But I padded the measurements around 1 inch and probably should not have
I did the same with mine. Sort of...I have a feeling they tend to go large vs small so my next order has everything trimmed down. This leather is far more forgiving and can be worn almost with the same dimensions as an actual denim or textile jacket.

I agree with the general feedback, for me this is 1 size too large and 2 to 3" too long in body and sleeves.
A trucker "should" finish at belt level, not hide your jeans pockets...

It looks a similar fit all around to the Levis leather truckers they do at the moment, which are a bit longer, but agree with some of the other posts, I think it does kind of look one size too large all over.

But how many inches ? Thank You

You are in a better position to work this out that we are as you have the jacket there and can see where it falls on you in real life.

Why not decide where you think the hem should end? (My view is should end around one inch over the belt, but many here would say at the belt.) You can then work out how much needs to go.

In the end I don't know how helpful it is for us to throw numbers at you.
