Is my leather jacket too tight or will it stretch (its lamb skin)?

[TeezyPeezy3]

Hi Members,

I need some help to know if this jacket is too tight (please see the images). I can move and stretch, but I cant do much of Yoga stretching in this jacket because the chest is rather tight. Its a lamb leather and if i had taken a bigger size than the small, it would have been too long in the arms and shoulders. Also many videos from experts online say its supposed to fit tight, hence my confusion. Could you please let me know what you think about it? I bought it online so couldn't try several sizes. Thank you so much for the help!

Kind Greetings!!

No offense, but it looks ridiculous.

Particularly so if you’re planning on wearing it when riding a motorcycle.

Thanks for the comments.

But I need the following question answered: how should a leather jacket fit in the chest area, and how does the present jacket match up to the known standard fit? In essence I'm wanting to know about the technicalities of stretching for lamb skin.

And i wont be riding a bike while wearing a lamb skin fashion jacket. Think: "going to a rock concert". Thanks for advice!!

If it’s tight now, chances are it will remain tight. Lamb skin is already soft so I’m not sure you’ll really feel much relief with wear.

The jacket won't stretch. It's too tight. One other thing about lambskin - it scratches like crazy. Night a nice patina like other leathers - actual scratches. Even wearing it in the car with a seat belt - the seat belt will end up leaving marks so you really have to baby it.

General rule: If clothing feels tight, it almost certainly looks tight. If it looks tight - you look bad.
