Yesterday I received an Alexander Leather Roadster in black goatskin. So far I like the leather and the quality of the jacket. It is an old label jacket and the price was very attractive.
Unfortunately I am not quite sure if this is a good fit and I might return the jacket. I chose my regular size, 38, and checked the measurements on the website. It feels ok when I wear it open, but when I zip it up it feels restrictive and is rather tight across the chest, just where the pockets are. There seems to be not enough space around the chest and too much at the back. You can see the greases under the pockets on the detail photo. I guess this might be good for riding a motorcycle in a hunched-over position, but otherwise it looks and feels a bit strange.
Please let me know what you think. Thank you very much in advance.
p.s. There is a similar post here, but I chose to start my own thread instead of kidnapping an existing one.
