Hi guys
I'd appreciate some opinions on this. I've made my first major leather jacket purchase, but I fear I'm between sizes. I bought an Allsaints jacket in medium, I usually wear a size 38 jacket. When I look at it now, it just seems like it has no shape when unzipped. When I zip it up, it looks okay I guess. Wee bit over the shoulder line. I have comfy enough room underneath for a sweater. I added a pic of my t-shirt underneath to show that I am quite skinny under there lol. I should've half-tucked the shirt so you could see my belt and buckle to judge the jacket length, but the jacket is most definitely covering the belt (in both the medium and small).
I tried the small and it was quite tight when zipped up, but felt really moulded to my arms etc otherwise. Slightly restrictive but nothing crazy if I had it unzipped. Unfortunately I didn't take a pic of the small size unzipped. Layering would be almost impossible I think, but I did intend to wear this with t-shirts only. If something like that stretch out, it might be perfect. Quite tight across the chest, you can see it doesn't look great zipped up. Here;s the small:
Do leather jackets like this stretch over time? It seems extremely soft, sooo nice hehe but I'm so torn between the sizes. If the leather does indeed stretch a bit, then maybe the small will stretch over the chest area and might end up looking like how I want it. I've never owned something like this before, so I don't really know. What do you think...
Thanks!!
