Weird fit on this bomber jacket
So my A2 jacket finally arrived, but Idk there’s something sus about it. Like the arms have no volume, they just go straight down without any shape. Am I just imagining it? Let me know what you think 🙏

second question, in the third pic do the boots fit with the jacket or is the brown tone too different?
It feels like you just bought a new/modern cut of bomber, which can be cut slimmer in the arms and body to follow trends. Vintage ones seem to have more volume because they're cut more generously in the arms and body and are usually cropped which emphasizes the shape. Padded bombers like ma-1s can get even puffier.
The brown boots go fine with the jacket imo, but you could darken them up with leather products if it bothers you
ah shame, modern cut isn't really my cup of tea. It looked like it had more volume in the pics
@Sal also interesting, what products could I use to darken them?
jacket looks like it might be a bit too big as well based on the shoulder, which may exacerbate the arm looking straight if it's just hanging straight down off your shoulders
though it might just be the leather isn't draping as nicely, since the body looks fine
Depends on the leather. I think You could use a darker brown hue of shoe creme or some leather fat? The latter usually darkens leather by a bit...
I’ll look them up tomorrow then, thank you :)
