Is my leather jacket too big?

[Johan]

A while back I bougth my first (but definitely not last - leather seems to be addictive....) leather jacket, a black Diesel Lagnum biker jacket. My knowledge of how a leather jacket should fit was very limited back then, so I just thought it should fit like a normal jacket. I bought a large and now I'm becoming unsure if it's too big for me.

I needs some honest opinions from you guys, so I've taken some pictures of me wearing the jacket.

First unzipped:

And zipped:

So what do you guys think? Is it too big?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards
Johan

Looks good from here...

Yup. Fits fine. Sleeve length looks on the nail.

Without a side by side comparison to the next size smaller it's hard to tell for sure, but it looks like a good fit to me. The shoulders and sleeves seem right, as does the torso when zipped. Room to move around but not baggy. Looks to be about as close as you can hope for in an OTR jacket.

Don't see any problems.

Thanks for your replies everyone. I was mostly worried about it being too long in the body, but that's maybe just how this model is supposed to fit? In most pictures leather jackets seem to be a bit shorter than mine...
Unfortunately I did'nt try a smaller size in the store so I don't really know if a medium would have been better.

Thanks again, for the reassuring answers.

Looks like a good fit to me. It's clearly a boxier cut by design than a jacket like, say, the Aero Cafe Racer, but cut is a distinct thing from size.

Nope. You seem to have a long, slender frame - and the jacket emulates your build IMO. It fits you great.
Wear it with confidence.

The length in the body looks like the design of the jacket. Otherwise it looks fine. A smaller size MAY have fit better but this doesn't scream "too big" at all.

Stand By: Thank you and I am indeed tall and slender.
Proteinnerd: Thank you that's reassuring.

I will keep it and wear as much as possible now knowing that people won't think that I borrowed my fathers jacket.
