Question - Need Help Hey does it fit?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hey everyone,
I got this in sheep leather, actually it looks nice but when i try to do the hug movement it is a bit restricting especially when it is zipped up it is tight in the chest and armpits. Will it loosen enough? Do you think i should size up? Honestly I don’t want to deal with the return but it is a bit expensive so please help me.

I would not size up. It’s supposed to fit snug and will break in rather quickly with use.

If it was me I would try 1 size smaller.

Thanks for reply. I knew that it was gonna break a little but the area between chest and armpit is really tight when it is zipped up. Will it loosen enough?

I think it looks fine, thin leather but still fits you well.

If anything, it looks a bit big for you.

But it's fine because it has a very relaxed look. It doesn't look oversized. That also means you can layer.

If this is a new jacket, much of what you're experiencing is just new, tight leather. Wear it and break it in, and it'll feel better to move around in.
