Don't worry about it. Within a couple weeks of wearing it you'll have scrapes and scratches on it from bumping into a doorway or getting in and out of your car
I've bought jackets from them before, and currently have 2 Himels that I'm super happy with, but the ordering process can be arduous and it felt a bit like I was dealing with Gilligan or the 3 stooges lol. For my Imperial order, I sent them a fit jacket which was actually one of their Canucks...
I think it looks great in the photos. It's only too tight if it's pulling at the zipper when you zip it up. One thing about this particular jacket is Aero makes them with sleeves that are curved to the point that it will feel tight in the upper chest/shoulder area when you have your arms down at...
I've had both highwayman fits in CXL. I didn't like the premiere in CXL. Main issue for me was the collar and neck hole which have a vertical oblong shape (as opposed to round) which causes the collar to always be squeezing into your neck at the sides. I also have a premiere half-belt in vicenza...

I stupidly sold my Highwayman and am thinking about getting another. Thinking about doing a plain back with shoulder gussets. I love the back yoke but I've got another jacket w/that same yoke style, so trying to add some variety. Anyway, has anyone done one with a plain back and shoulder...
I'm going to add to this list: don't buy an aero jacket with the Premier collar in CXL. The neck hole is shaped like a vertical button hole, and the collar digs into the sides of your neck. You'll feel it too with their softer more forgiving leathers, but it's not as bothersome. But the CXL...
I own several jackets in shinki, one in horween cxl and one in vicenza, and the cxl is the only one I feel OK about wearing out on a rainy day. And I live in Seattle, the rain capital of the USA LOL. That said, I prefer the shinki for the look, weight, and feel
I'll disagree in that based on my experience I wouldn't recommend the regular/heavy CXL for anything 'slim-cut'. With the exception of something like the Ridley. The more generous neck hole and shoulder gussets help make that style wearable in the heavy CXL.
