I've never owned a goatskin jacket before and wanted to get some opinions on fit (i.e. "is this normal"?). This was a made-to-measure jacket by Magnoli. I used two other jackets I have for measurement references and like a neat fit, but am still a bit surprised at how restrictive the jacket is with regard to arm movement. Perhaps this is typical of a medium weight hide? Perhaps it will stretch somewhat? Or if you think I should have increased a specific measurement or two, please advise which! Thank you.
Appears to be a perfect fit for this style jacket when relaxed...
Raising the arms brings the collar up noticeably and creates some effects and outward pull in the shoulder and under the armpit. Again, perhaps this is normal. I typically wear sheepskin (please set your stones back on the ground...) which isn't as dramatic, movement-wise, as this goat jacket
Moving arms forward creates noticeable "squeaky" tension on the upper arm
Here's a better view of the arm/back tension
Raising the arm while the jacket's unzipped pulls the bottom up and to the side significantly
Thanks everybody!
