Hi everyone!
I just received this wonderful jacket from Japan. To my great disappointment, it turned out to be too small for me!
The jacket is new with tags!
I paid 1800 euros for it, including shipping fees in Germany!
The dimensions of the jacket are in the photo!

Price: 1300 euro

May I ask what are your real weight, size, chest perimeter on your photos where you wear the jacket?
On your photos the jacket does not look too small. Maybe it is only first feeling when you wear it - I had such feeling where I tried first time FW Mullholland. Now with time I realized that Mullholland is correct size and I got used to too many jackets in past which were just oversized.

My weight is about 87 kg and my height is 181 cm. I have broad shoulders and a chest circumference of 109 cm.
You're right, the jacket hasn't been broken in yet. But still, I don't think I'll get enough room in the chest with a sweater.

I personally feel like the cafe racer pattern is best worn true to size — I think leather jackets with a dress collar look better layered. If I were you I’d keep it! Just my opinion

That looks real good on you mate, but it's all about how it feels - if it feels restrictive and unpleasant then it's a good idea to let it go. And a t-shirt only fit jacket is only viable if you already have a few similarly nice layering jackets.

It’d be a mistake to sell this well-fitting jacket at a loss to size up to an ill-fitting jacket. CR is a tshirt-only fit, not the sweater-underneath fit. You’re chasing some imaginary phantom, you should keep this in your closet while trying out other patterns.

Fits great. Please keep. I had a similar situation and regretted selling.
A size bigger in this type of fit is not recommended.

Interesting thought.
I have two A-2 in 42, that are unfortunately very tight when worn with a thin shirt. With a t-shirt doable.
But I've hardly worn them in the last years.
In the summer it's too warm, in winter too cold with just a t-shirt.
Not sure how an A-2 in 46 or even 48 would look like.

The same with my Brakeman. In 42 it's quite tight. The chest button is under a lot of pressure.
A pity.
I might sell and get a similar one. FWs prices have risen really a lot, plus they've hardly released any in the last years.
Perhaps the Auto Revolution by DH could be a replacement. Or one by RC or Fountainhead.
