Doesn't look like it to me. Do you ride a MC..?
Is it too short,tho? Can't really tell with the T shirt out...but looks like it very well might be
..at least for me.

Doesn't look too tight but how does it feel at full inhale zipped up?
Shoulders look okay but sleeves look a little short for reaching for handlebars....

 

[onstar]

the bottom of the jacket just barely touches the top of my pants when i my shirt is tucked in.

 

[onstar]

this is my very first leather jacket, a 654 in large. It feels bigger than the 641

 

[gtdean48]

I like the sleeve length better but the first one fits your torso better.
Is the second one HH?

 

[Sloan1874]

Generally, I prefer a short jacket to at least cover my belt. The sleeves on the second one look on the money, the other is just a smidgen short for my taste, but some people do prefer them 'out of the way'.

It fits you fine man.


The 641HH have a trimmer and shorter vintage cut. I own one and it is one of my favorite cafe racer. Schott's HH is really nice.

641HH. Torso looks fine. I would just want the sleeves a tad longer.

This stuff is subjective: what's too tight or too short? How does it feel to wear and how do you feel about the look? For me, I'd say it is 2 inches too short but I like my jackets to sit 2 inches past my belt.

 

[Cyber Lip]

for my taste, i would consider it too short in the length and sleeves, doesn't look to tight though from the pics

 

[nice hat dude!]

Not that it means anything but how I tell a jacket is to tight for me,do it up bend your elbows forward and if it feels like you're about to bust the stitching across the back,to tight.From the pics it looks OK,JMO

641's fit on most people over 5"11 that way. The sleeves are usually a touch short. This said, I think that 641 looks fine on you. Even if you ride motorsickles, you can just wear the standard type of gloves that go over your wrists and then some, like most riders these days.

If you got a good deal on that 641, it's a keeper. A lot of people on the Lounge like extra long cuffs. It's a culture here. Personally, I think when sleeves get too long, the jacket doesn't look custom made. It looks "rack." This said, yes, your cuffs are a tad short, but not enough to worry about IMO.

I think the brown 654 looks like a better fit then the black 641. Just my 2 cents

 

[schitzo]

As Shapiro has said it's all subjective. I think it looks an inch or so short, the brown one looks a better length to me. Is there enough room under the arms? If so and you don't think it's too short everything else looks alright

Yes, I think it looks too small / tight

a person's body weight / size changes over the years and it's always better to buy a little bigger or looser

better for comfort and for many years of wear, unless your the kind of person that buys a new leather jacket every couple of years?

Ive had to get rid of several of my leather jackets because they always end up too small the older I get, all it takes is a little weight gain and the jacket will be too tight to wear

I cant stand the restrictive feeling of a snug fitting leather jacket

my number one priority when buying a leather jacket is freedom of movement, I must be able to bend over or reach up without any restriction in the fit when driving, kneeling, riding a motorcycle, etc

even self defense if I have to, you cant fight in a tight jacket

That's the way those jackets fit. It'll stretch out a bit with wear. Looks good!
The idea that you need to buy a larger jacket 'cause you'll inevitably getter fatter is ridiculous. As one ages you lose muscle mass, which makes a person smaller, not larger. If you become less active in your old age EAT LESS; you're burning fewer calories and don't need as much fuel.

Couldn't agree more. Outside of this forum, extra long cuffs look a bit 'little boy in daddy's jacket.'

Perhaps it depends on exactly what years we are talking about? I graduated high school weighing 146 lb. Thirty years later, I weigh 170. I'm not overweight, I simply filled out. I'd be willing to bet 98% of the guys here have gotten bigger as they've aged. Of course, when I go from 65 years old to 85 years old, I will likely get smaller - but I doubt I'll be worried about my leather jacket when I'm 85.

Harlock was probably reffering to a full grown up man. teenagers don't buy 1000$ jackets. If you pick 40-50lbs between 30 and 60 years old you need to eat less or stay off the sofa.

The OP fit is perfect for a OTR jacket. Sleeves lenght is relative to personal choice. I hate overly long sleeve as they get in the way when reaching in the pockets.
