Hello.

I am considering buying a Barbour International Leather jacket. The specific model is a Winter Sprocket Jacket, just like this one: https://www.countryattire.com/barbo...procket-leather-jacket-black-mlt0072bk11.html (Please remove link if it is not allowed to post it).

I can get a size small brand new for only £171, however i am a bit unsure if the size will fit me.

Do you guys have any advice/thoughts about this jacket ?:)

Sincerely.

It looks like a nice quality leather jacket.

Style wise i think it would look great with dark blue or black denim with black boots or white fashion sneakers. I guess it depends on what type of look you are going for.

Have you purchased that brand of leather jacket before so you have an idea of sizing?

Never purchases anything from that brand before unfortunately! I ended up ordering the size small (last one), the price was way too good. It very well might be too small tho, if thats the case i can send it back for refund. I really like its style so fingers crossed :D

I will have it by the end of the week :) Slightly worried about the size, i usually wear medium. I contacetd Barbour International, chest circumference on that specific model (small) is 110cm, so there is hope ! :D

the jacket itself seems to be of high quality, unfortunately i'm not sure how happy I am with the length of the sleeves. I am also thinking that the padding on the elbows might be too much on my slim profile.

What do you guys think, i would highly appreciate feedback :)

IMO the arms are too long (not just sleeve length but placement of elbow patches). It also fits a bit loose in the lower section compare with the upper profile (which fits well).

This is really bad fit. In my opinion jacket length should not be below your belt. It looks 1 or 2 inch bigger same for sleeves. I think before buying you should read size guide and if still not sure you should ask their customer support.
