One more from me folks. I think this one looks alright, but when I wear it, it feels slightly too large one me:

The Good Wear looks perfect. I would sell the other 2 you are thinking about selling. Not quite right in terms of fit so best to let them go

Sorry, other 2 being the Cafe Racer and the Board Racer? Or the board racer and the cross zip I just posted?
The cross zip is too big in the body imo.

Board racer, the bomber, and the one you just posted actually. That one you just posted looks too big

You're wearing a hoodie under it. I personally think it's fine that way, but with a t-shirt or button up shirt it'll be a little large.
Not that I care that much personally. I have 2 recent acquisitions that are larger than they should be for the "ideal FL fit" but I am not an ideal shape overall. I like jackets to have some room for layers, since where I live, it gets quite cold and windy for several months each year. So if you're comfortable in it, keep it and wear & enjoy it. I will be with my two more recent ones. One or two of my "ideal fit" jackets are so uncomfortable to wear that they just hang out - and do not get worn these days as much.
If it was mine and I really liked it, I would go to my leather tailor and have it tightened around the waist.
Nevertheless, you can also wear it as it is. Probably no one will notice that it is a little wider (except here in the TL
)Btw, how tall are you?

One more question from me:
Which of these Cafe Racers do you think fits me better? I’m uncertain whether to get rid of 1 or keep both:
1. Aero CR
Johnson Leathers:

From a visual point of view, I vote for the Johnson Leathers, it looks perfect to me. But as already mentioned, it's not just the look that counts, but rather how you feel in the Jacket.

From a pattern perspective , the JL couldn’t be better

Judging solely from these pictures, JL looks much better on you.

It’s strange because I thought the Aero looked better
Yes, my vote would be Aero.

Haha this is definitely what seems to be happening. May be an excuse for me to keep both…I think the Aero looks better. If you ask for opinions on here, the end is going to be the same neurosis that inspires our multiple purchases...
