Banana Republic's Suede Trucker Jacket - Small

eJcpFNv.jpeg


1. Slightly too big around the shoulders? or just right?
2. Short length-wise? or just right?
3. Just right for sleeves? or slightly long?

Was told it was "way too big", however this is a S-size jacket. I am 6'2", skinny-fit.
Should I try to get a XS?

The model on the website is around my height and it seems the shoulders spill over slightly too: https://bananarepublic.gap.com/brow...001&cid=1184177&pcid=1016720#pdp-page-content

4. Also, can I wear this during winter (non-harsh weather) and not look out of season?
5. What to pair with this? White hoodie and black jeans alright?

In my opinion it's to big, shoulders are to wide and arms to long.

Style hint, layered clothing should not be longer then top layer.

Got it!
Appreciate the answer, and yeah that seems to be my conclusion after looking at it carefully as well...
Banana Republic actually sold out on the XS sizing, so I'll have to just wait it out or find somewhere else that carries a very similar style.
