feedback on fit #1

[theeggcarton]

Hi all...interested in honest feedback on fit (and if you are inclined, the jacket as well) of two different items that I am debating on keeping or exchanging (for different style)...

..... going against my normal disdain for photos of myself by posting a bunch here for critique :-0
Obviously my dogs are much less concerned with this...

Jacket #1...this one is a 40 not much room for layering and probably should be a 42...worried that might end up too big though. This jacket was also the topic of a recent thread/poll.

Not a style i am very familiar with, but a good fit in the body. Like your other jacket i find the sleeves to long, but some people like them long.

Is that a himel? Fit looks pretty good.

Looks great! Nice to see it on a person, not just a mannequin. I really like that jacket. I noticed the sleeves look quite long on the measurements they provide on their website. I think it looks really good on you.

great fit as well from behind. while I like my moto jacket have longer sleeve, but in this style I do think the sleeve is a little bit long. Jacket style wise, not my type.. and due to my limited knowledge in classic jacket style... I thought the material looks like liner of a jacket.

Sleeves look a little long on this style compared to Jacket #2.
Unusual material. Any front shots..??

I really like the jacket and the fit. Body length looks fine. Like others, I think the sleeves look a little long. This wouldn't be a deal breaker for me.

Thanks all...yes, sleeves are definitely long and with a leather jacket I usually don't worry about it as it pulls up nicely. Don't believe wool will have the same effect. I to am unfamiliar with this jacket type and honestly never would have thought I would like it as much as I do. My quandary is going up one whole size and having it look to baggy overall...
Here are front pics_buttoned and unbuttoned...not sure how I managed to post so many back pics without one front view.

I really like this one!

I agree with you. A size up more than likely would be a bit much.

I guess if someday the sleeve length is still a bit long-ish, you can easily make it shorter easier on the woolside, probably right after the leather cuff (lot's of people make their jeans shorter while keeping the original chain stitched hem this way) or on the shoulder

Not a style I would probably grab for myself if I saw it on a shelf but I'm surprised by how much I like it when its worn and I think it looks great on you.
Like everyone, the sleeves are too long for me, but if thats how you like them, its not an issue.
I wouldn't size up, this looks spot on.

Thanks all! Really appreciate the input and feedback!

I've zero experience with these coats but this one also looks like a superb fit to me. I really like it.
