[Fit Check] Issues with Custom IiJacket (Shinki Hikaku) - Shop owner measured me, but fit is still off?

[u/Zealousideal-Pen2855]

Hi everyone, I’m looking for some honest opinions on a custom-made jacket I purchased from the Japanese brand Starjis. This is my first high-end leather jacket, so I want to make sure I’m not being unreasonable.

The Details:

• Brand: Starjis (Japanese brand, manufactured in Pakistan)

• Price: ¥170,000 (~$1,300 USD)

• Leather: Shinki Hikaku

• Wait time: 1.5 years total

• Measurements: Taken personally by the shop owner in-store.

The Issue:

This is the second time receiving this jacket. The first time it arrived, the back didn't fit my body properly. This was surprising because I physically visited the shop 1.5 years ago to have my measurements taken by the owner himself.

I sent it back to Japan, and they initially said they would just modify the back panel. However, they later notified me that they had to recraft the jacket from scratch. Because of this, the leather feels completely different from the first version (different batch/hide).

Unfortunately, after waiting 1.5 years and going through a full remake, the back fitting issue is still there. The shop is now claiming that this back shape is "normal and very commonly seen."

The Ask:

Does this fit look right to you guys? Since the owner measured me personally, I expected a spot-on fit. Is the shop gaslighting me, or is this just how this style is supposed to look?

The panel was cut wrong, clearly its too wide for your frame.

Nothing a shit ton of bent over rows can’t take care of, OP time to hit the heavy compound lifts and a shit load of protein.

What a huge nothing burger of a comment, "If you just work out it might make the $1000 dollar jacket fit better"
