if you want to layer def size up, as for the jacket itself i think it looks okay but it does look a little tight even in the arms, the 2 isnt really ridiculously bigger than the 1 so i think its a safe bet sizing up one.

I say size up 1 on the BoO, maybe even 2. The pocket on the chest is opening up when zipped up, that means it is just way too tight especially if you plan to continue working out then your size might go up another size or two.

I'm not sure it's really supposed to be fake leather, just the style of a motorcycle jacket..
it's 98% cotton and 2% resin

It looks like cheap plastic, something you'd find at Forever21.

Take no offense, I'm just saying that's what it looks like to me based on the pic.

Are you butthurt because no one liked the jacket you posted? A jacket that you knew wasn't leather yet you continued to post in the leather jackets thread?
