Leather jacket sizing, too big or small?

[MickeyPunch]

If you post this then you’re not happy, so unless you’re drowning in money then return and keep looking, or try to size down.

I never really followed John Elliott but they used to do skinny stuff, and if the model pic is an indication of intended fit then it seems to be a bit Hedi-esque, i.e. skinny, cropped and with a big front opening. That’s not really how it looks on you.

The sleeves are the right length, they're falling too far on your hands because the shoulder seam of the jacket is hanging a little past your natural shoulder width.
As far as the rest, I think we need to see it zipped and from the side.
It WILL look better as it wears in, but it won't change sizes.

One or two sizes too big .
I can layer comfortably underneath and I love the style and leather .I have this since 2019 .
The jacket is only inspired by the Eastman Ostmann and is longer so don't see it as a "Luftwaffe" fit .
I might want to get it slimmed down by the manufacturer .I wish they did customs back then
