I've been there. I doubt the jacket will stretch enough to be comfortable. I'd say you have to either lose 5-7 kgs or have a bigger jacket. Sorry mate!

I agree: it doesn’t look comfortable.
I’ve lost several kg during lockdown and several Old Town waistcoats (and a Nigel Cabourn Tweed jacket) already feel decidedly less snug as a result.

Does not look comfortable at all to me, I would keep saving and eventually trade up to your correct size. I've had to sell a few in the past year due to pre-Covid-19 weightlifting and larger shoulders/upper body.

Thank you all and I think I will sell it during this winter, I will try some more cardio to see if I can lose several lbs before that. Actually it's been tighter during these lockdown days, my belly and waist are significantly larger than before. My denim is also tighter, but they are much more stretchy than leather.

Hi warthog. I think your jeans is more to tight then your jacket. And the jacket is to tight to..

Hi,

I got a new Thedi leather jacket last year and wear it for like 20 days during this Spring. However, it is restricting my movements, I cannot lift my arms over my head. I have large biceps (17 inches), and I feel really tight around the armpits. So should I sell the jacket or wait to see if it can be stretched a little bit? Thank you for your advice.

I'm just not a fan of this particular style, and yeah...it's a bit too tight. You should sell it and get something custom made from Aero. The pic I posted is a beautiful Aero that's currently for sale on here.

It was in the classifieds yesterday, so I'm sure you'll be able to come across it without too much trouble. Just look for a black horsehide Aero racer.

It's an absolute beauty. All the size 40 men out there would be fools to pass it up.

If I wasn't too big for it I'd absolutely go for it. Great jacket.
