Does it fit too big on me?

it's not the styling, it's the sleeves that don't work for me. i like the look of the jacket. i don't like the bagginess and length of the sleeves





I've been trying to decide whether or not to buy for the last month. I wanted the zip parka, but that has option has come and gone (at least at a price I'm willing to pay). I've been thinking about the Thompson instead because it shares a lot of similarities with what I liked about the zip parka, but the sleeves do look super weird to me. Anyone know if the button fastenings significantly alter the bagginess? I would think that if they made a difference, it would be visible in at least some of the pictures I've seen on IG, but every single one looks baggy.

The cuffs width on Barbour x EG is not adjustable so visually it is what you get. They only have hidden storm cuffs to prevent wind from going into your sleeves but they don't alter the look of the sleeves at all.

My Ripstop patchwork Bedford arrived yesterday. I think that's the first time I'm really disappointed by EG item.
On one hand the colour and fabric/texture combo looks SO MUCH BETTER than my 6.5 flat twill navy patchwork Bedford - but it's only personal preference.
But on another - the shoulder construction seem to be kinda stiffer so it fits rather off, definetely not in a relaxed summer-ish way. I've also noticed 2 defects on ripstop fabric - something which looks like "knots" - if this was some kind of slubby fabric this would be acceptable, but having 2 very visible knots on one arm kinda sucks.
To finish this off, right sleeve is about an inch shorter than left one, wtf.
