I like the first one. I mean I like them all, but the other ones are kind of tight on you. The Perfecto looks good, too. Welcome!
I could size one up, but they all become a little baggy and the sleeves will be too long. I'm thinking the leather will stretch a bit too.

Smart way to decide on a jacket! I personally like the mid brown cafe racer the best, but that's just me. I like that color. The style is simple, if you like that.

They all seem a bit tight in the chest when zipped, with some bunching under the arms. They might relax a bit if the leather is lighter weight. Do they feel comfortable?

If you're in milder temps, mostly keep the jacket unzipped, and don't need to layer, then I think the current fit is ideal. The arms and body are plenty long.

I'm comfortable in either model. These are all made from very thick leather. Nothing really compares from what i've seen, where i come from.
The 530 cafe is a bit stiff in the leather, the others are buttery soft.
The 519 perfecto feels the most tight around the waist area.
But there is room enough to fit a hoodie under all the models.

The palomino trucker is an odd color i must say. But in person it is still pretty darn slick.

They all look good. I personally like the Perfecto and the Café Racer. Honestly I'm with the rest of the crew, they look a little snug on ya.

The one that's cut like a denim jacket is okay...but leave that cut where it belongs, with a denim jackets.

A definite NO GO on the yellowish one!

Since you asked - none of those jackets appears to fit especially well. Most look cramped around the shoulder, stomach and sleeves. The flying jacket is big in the stomach and looks baggy from the chest down. Maybe it's the photos.

Would probably have helped if you tuck your shirt in - it's tricky to gauge length otherwise. Not sure about any of them, though.
