Leather jacket sizing, too big or small?

If you have to ask, the answer is usually a no, which certainly applies in this case. The jacket is too big, at least by 1 size. Even if you size down, the jacket is still not good looking and appears low quality even for $100.

If I were to drop $2k on a jacket, I'd buy a Freewheelers Sunset in black deerskin and call it a day. That's top-shelf stuff, not this garbage John Elliot's "genuine leather" I'm looking at.

I wouldn't be too tough on him in regards to Johnson. I was curious about their offerings once and went to their site and there was nothing there

Their website definitely leaves a lot to be desired. It’s funny because the old website was primitive and unappealing, yet it at least showed photos of their basic models with info on fit and pricing.
I guess they figure that between Instagram and word of mouth they have all the business they need.

I feel like it's Instagram and word of mouth for locals, then more fashion brand OEM manufacturing than they can handle, so there's no need to do more.
