I do understand, I had the same jacket in size 44 and had the same problem in the shoulder area but in my case it was more noticiable.
For what its worth I had exactly the same experience - a size 44 which looked great, the measuremnts fit, but was very uncomfortable around the shoulders so I moved it on

I wonder if the problem is in the cut of the jacket or in the physique?
I think the jacket is built for a Japanese build, obviously generalizing but more square shouldered and tubular body shape. I have extremely sloped and forward / rounded shoulders and a v-shape body. It's just the wrong combination.

I think if you have normal shoulders without the forward rounding, you will fit in this very well. FWIW, I usually go bespoke on suits or do a very Italian-style soft shoulder due to my sloped / forward shoulders... buying off the rack suits is near impossible.

Wear it for a month straight and then decide. My mulholland took a long, long time for the leather to finally give up and conform to my body. It felt a little awkward and uncomfortable but I wore it for a couple long road trips zipped up and it really broke into my body. I think leather tightens up if it isn’t worn for a long time and if I pull my mulholland out after it being in the closet for a season I have to wear it for like half a day in the sun for the leather to soften back up and for it to Become a second skin again. I dont think mine fits any better then yours and its one of my favorites jackets of all time. It’s really comfy, sexy as hell looking, huge one piece back of Shinki is incredible. Give it a chance….
