That’s an interesting mini half-belt
Sorry, no idea what else to call it. Is there a proper term for this type of back design?

It’s called pronged cinch-back or clincher, which is typical of type I trucker jackets from 1905-late 1930s

Lovely jacket but since it's still new and if perhaps you haven't spec'd it / don't prefer it this way, it does appear to be a size too large for you.
Jacket looks great. Thoughts on the piece?
Thanks! It’s a good piece: excellent type I pattern (the pleated folds have some room to give), unlined leather feels nice on the skin, and solid construction. I’m a fan of the snap button closure. The pockets seem functional, they fit my iPhone 14 easily. Generally, there is not much to complain about except some minor nitpickings: (1) I wish pocket flap placement was on the left instead of the right; (2) I wish there was one additional snap closure between the sleeve button closure and rivet near the elbow because the sleeve feels like it bulges out a bit. Overall, 8/10.
I went to the Mister Freedom store and tried on several of their leather jackets, but this piece in this color stood out the most.

This time a Tatanka Freewheelers a-1 flight jacket, my wife’s 2nd favorite jacket at the moment. She still likes the lighter color vs the tatanka.

Love the finish on this jacket! Or how they dyed it. I like the textured look.
