Jacket Tightness

I`ve found a leather jacket that I like, but I`m wondering if the size may be too tight. I`m a 34" chest while the jacket is only a 36" chest. Would this me too tight for wearing over tees or just left open for warmer days?

Have you tried it on? What kind of jacket? Is it a 36" measured or size 36?

If the chest measures to 36", that should be fine with a tee or even more than that, really. If the jacket is a size 36, it'll probably be a bit oversized.

And I say, listen to Get Smart.

He'll have cuffs from his shirt showing when he wears a leather jacket, for chrissake. Check WAYWT.

Thanks for your help. I`m now certain the jacket would have fit well, but it seems someone snatched it durign my deliberations.
