Thanks BB and YI!

It appears to be too big and too small at the same time... The sleeves are definitely too long, the but the way the third button is pulled away and the vent is pulled open says it's too small. There's definitely some drape stuff happening with the chest but I don't know enough to speak to that, I'm sure someone does... Beautiful jacket though, well worth the alterations...

Standing up straight and leveling out your shoulders will help too.

H&J jackets do come with generous length sleeves. Once they are shortened to length the jacket will look a whole lot better.

Their jackets are quite a boxy cut but that one does look a bit big in the body on you. The main thing with jackets is that they fit across the shoulders, especially natural shoulder jackets which should be pretty snug around the shoulder. Most other things can be sorted fairly easily by letting in or letting out, but altering the width across the shoulders is more complex (i.e. expensive). You will know if it fits you on the shoulders, if you're happy with that aspect get the sleeves sorted then re-assess.

What size do you normally take TC? Do you usually have these same issues?

Hah! This is a 42 which I take in suits, overcoats and casual jackets. Just shy of 5'10" in height.

I can live with the vent being pulled slightly by my fat backside, but to me the chest/front being too baggy is the main issue. Shortening sleeve not a problem and something I do on my formal suits. Also noticed the shoulder doesn't seem to be smaller on the 40 in some of the size charts from them.

Can't praise the fabric and details enough but fit is everything.

Return it, Treble. Doesn't fit anywhere. It's wearing you.

There is a size 40 I can try.
