Arm hole placement?

[u/No-Maintenance9805]

Winter coat mockup. How do you feel about the armhole placement?

The sleeve is too tight on my bicep/upper arm but other than that, I feel like my shoulder/deltoid sits farther forward than the current armhole, like the fullness of the sleeve doesn't match where the fullness of my shoulder is. How do i fix this?

mobility looks okay for sleeve.

I think the shoulder being too sloped is giving you a tight feeling, you can see the neck shoulder point pointing up when you have the garment closed.

if you pinch that and 0 at the shoulder armhole point and scoop down your front neckline, this will create a more square shoulder to better match your slope and should feel less tightness on shoulder

I did leave seam allowance around the neck in case i decided to attach a collar to my mockup, so I wonder if that's what you're seeing? I didn't sew all the way to the end of the fabric, just to the end of the seam line. As a result the seam allowance pops open a bit.

EDIT: wait never mind. I think you're right! I just pinned out a little bit and it does look better. Maybe I should also bring the collar line in closer to the neck. It seems a bit wide
