hi all.. im about to buy my first leather jacket, im bit worried about sizeing! when i try on in shop they always recomend a size that feels a little small and slightly tight in arms,as they say the leather will soften and strech to give perfect fit! the next size up does feel big so should i go with the tighter fitting and hope it gives a little specialy in the arms???

Unless it is like a sausage skin go for the tighter one, they loosen a fair bit and if they are too big the armour slides around and doesn't offer any of the benefits it does if it stays in place. If one is far too tight and the next up is too big then you'll need a different style/brand of jacket.
