Leather Jacket A2 Fit

[don-c20let]

Hello, I got a Simmons Bilt A2 jacket through a swap. It's size 44 and I'm 1.80 m tall and weigh 84 kg.

I'm a little unsure because the sleeves are a bit long for me and I also find them a little wide. What do you think?

In the picture, I'm wearing a T-shirt and a thick flannel shirt underneath.
Thanks Daniel!

The back is still baggy after wearing that stuff underneath, wide sleeves, I've had that, to me a 42 would be a much better fit, I'm sure the other guys will give a opinion as well, a A2 is meant to be streamlined, I've never worn anything more than a t-shirt underneath, as for the cuff knits, it doesn't look overly long

No metal "Collar Hooks?" Nobody uses them anyway. Rivets for "Hang Loop" may not be "Correct"; the internal "Hang Loop" is almost always sewn to the body of the jacket.

A little extra length on the sleeves will likely be appreciated when driving with arms outstretched. A little extra room in the body of the jacket and a little room within the sleeves will allow layering of insulating garments inside the jacket; suggest full-zip Fleece jackets with Mandarin collar and upper left chest pocket for cell phone. Even without any inner insulating garments added, extra body room is likely to be much less constrictive when moving arms. One (inner) fleece jacket chosen for snug fit, and the outer fleece jacket chosen to fit over inner fleece jacket properly. 2 x Fleece jackets nearly 3 X as warm as a single fleece jacket.

IOW, looks fine for a 3-season jacket. Just my opinion.

In size 42, the jacket will look better on you, but there is a risk that it will be tight in the chest.

I like it better when the cuffs are straightened

I don't think the sleeve length is a problem, but I couldn't say about the overall fit because the odd ( to me anyways ) cut of this jacket is throwing me off.
I'm not used to seeing an A2 with this kind of taper to the sleeves which just makes the upper arms look even larger than usual.

I think I've seen Star Sportswear with tapered sleeves, and Monarch

That's quite possible, I just haven't seen this before and it looks off to me.
