Hey Guys,

I just bought my first leather jacket from Superdry. I got the smallest size (Size Small) and I'm 5'4 in height. I was wondering if the length and fit look just fine for me. I know it's not the proper attire but would like to use this for motorcycle ride. Any advice is much appreciated! Thank you! :)

It's a bit large on you. The sleeves are ruffled which means they're too long, and these types of jackets are not supposed to fall past the hip bones or cover the buttocks.

That being said, it doesn't look bad. If it's for motorcycle protection, it will serve its purpose.

Agree, slightly long in the body but if your arms will be extended on a motorcycle, the extra sleeve length may actually be a good thing.

Thanks RJC, I appreciate it! my impulse got me this because it was on sale. I don't know the resale value should I plan to sell it but I haven't removed the tags yet. I might try this once on a ride and if it's comfortable enough I just might keep it instead. :)

Thanks bro! Yes, I'm guessing it'll extend a bit and the ruffles smoothen out when I'm on a motorcycle stance.
