Leather jacket sizing, too big or small?

Is this jacket too large or small?

It's a size large, and it feels pretty good, but not sure about sleeve length.

At first I thought it was too big because of the sleeve hitting at just above the knuckle, but chatgpt thinks if anything, it might be too small.

we getting fashion advice from chatgpt now?

I think it's too big, look at all the chest room around the zipper pocket.

the sleeve also has a trash bag look altho some guys like that here

I agree that it looks big, but fitwise its snug but not tight, i can fit a hoodie underneath and it still feels and looks good.

on the flipside, it is a $2,000 jacket and I want to make sure its the right fit for both aesthetic and comfort.

Hi. If that was a suit or sportcoat sleeve, it would be too long. But for overcoats or jackets you might ride in, that length looks pretty acceptable to me. My favorite coats are a little roomy rather than too small. Surely, you can tell if it fits or not. The old saying comes to mind, "the most expensive clothes are the ones you never wear."

It definitely fits, it's a great fit. Just aesthetically it might doesnt seem to fall on me just right. In that particular photo it looks a little puffy

I feel like for a $2k jacket it should both fit and look really good?

but it did just come right out of the box, and it was folded up. its on a hanger now, maybe it will fall a little better after getting hung a little.
