@ton312 that cal is ridiculously good.
@JoeNiblick It looks like a good fit to me. Having the shirt untucked makes it look smaller, but it doesn't look bad to me. Snug, but in a good way. I would personally happy with a fit like this and as @Marc mndt said, sizing up would likely give you a jacket that does not look good. IMO MC style jackets are t shirt or thin shirt only jackets anyway so I wouldn't be annoyed with the inability to layer.

You mean it makes you look a bit narrow shouldered? The rest of the jacket looks great on you.
My jacket also do the same on me more when it was new. Over 1 and half year new i dont know if it expand a little or crisp edges get rounder with wear it looks OK in the end.
I think it does expand 1 cm or 2 across the shoulder.
This is today just now, i wear the same pants to better illustrate

I am too, the top coat still haven't worn off to show a lighter brown core even though this is a preowned jacket, probably 2-3 years old maybe a little more. I've only had this jacket for about 8 months and I did wet the sleeves to set the creases to my arm shape.
Good to know you grabbed a Thedi trucker as I haven't seen one before, snaps/buttons?mor is it the zip up trucker they have?
Dang brother that's so cool, can't wait to see that bad boy custom D pocket. If the leather is the same as the bruciato HH you have then that's going to look so nice.

Hi there
That is a stunning jacket mate. Can you say a bit more about this jacket (maker, leather, price, designer etc). Thanks in advance.
I was wondering what happened to that trip as you mentioned you'll go this year, great picture and looking forward to seeing the jackets

That’s my dream. So jelly!
Visiting the makers is such a great experience! Have fun @Marc mndt, and congratulations on your new jackets!
Thanks, just a custom jacket made locally in my country east java indonesia out of my own doodle, for this one I bought the leather myself it was 1.5mm pressed vegtan cowhide for the body, and 2mm pressed cowhide for the cuff and patch pockets. As for price i bought the materials leather and liner and hardware around $100 from local tannery natural vegtan tooling leather and fabrics supplier for the lining, and i paid for construction a little under $200 to a leather jacket workshop nearby.
That was my doodle, if you want to do a custom for personal use, you can use the design and bring it to custom jacket maker like 5* here or elsewhere, about material i must warn against using a pressed tooling leather though.. it was not the right choice for garment, it was pretty hard to wear the first few months, if you choose a vegtan leather better be a non pressed hide, it has more grain from start, still functioning pores and much softer.

My very first leather jacket I bought. Size 46 AERO BOOTLEGGER in BROWN CXFQHH. I think this may have been HORWEENS HEAVY brown CCXFQHH sold as regular CXFQHH; reason being is because I have 3 other AEROLEATHER jackets in CXFQHH and they are all much thinner and lighter than my AERO BOOTLEGGER shown in the picture. This is one of my favorite of 7 leather jackets I have. It became a very comfortable jacket after about 4 months of wear and break in. Pictures of this jacket where taken last winter since I didn’t have anyone to take pictures of me waring the jacket today

Fine creek. Leon custom.
longer sleeves on the shirt and shorter sleeves on the jacket are not ideal, especially when the jacket is zipped up. I need to pick my base layer with sleeve length in mind.

Fits you great but... Seems like you've got quite a few issues going on with this jacket that you're trying to justify and that's what, a $2K jacket you're wearing? In my view, if a jacket I've paid that much for doesn't make me feel "Holy crap, this is literally the best jacket I ever had!" each time I put it on, like my Walter Dyer does at a fraction of a cost, I'm not sure you're getting your money's worth here.
I've been trying to incorporate this approach to all the clothes that I buy and it goes something along the lines of, if there comes a situation when I'd rather grab whatever else I've got lying around, over something I paid major money for - For instance, short evening walk with a dog on a rainy day - What good is the pricey item for?
On the other hand, like I said, it looks really good on you and I wouldn't change a thing about it, fit-wise, so it all depends how the jacket makes you feel. If you can't return it, give it time. Looks to me that it can't be all that uncomfortable and besides, it's the only thing you can do at this point so why the heck not just enjoy it.

I love that you're getting so many jacket wears in Texas. Makes my complaining about Los Angeles weather seem very snow flake so to speak. Lately, mornings have been chilly out here though, so I'm getting one jacket in until about 10:30ish. And then usually at night around the house I put on another. Really digging how even after 10-15 steady wears really starts to transform it. Picked up something that had been on my wish list for a while. I'll post some pics later. But I finally got my rotation down to about 10, so I can easily wear each jacket at least once per week. But I got 2 more on the way (that LL Lightning and a future FL) so we'll see if I need to streamline a couple down the road. Any case, glad to say jacket weather is upon us. Got some hot days later next week, but without a doubt, mornings and night time in the least, you can wear a jacket without looking like a total freak LOL.
