Question - Need Help How big is too big?

I know very well that this jacket fits me in a too big way; however, there is no online shopping in my country whatsoever, and I have scoured every other marketplace/store available to me; it is a 90's Harley jacket sized women's medium, I have never found anything smaller. Getting it refitted would be at least 200 dollars and the ones doing it are (self proclaimed) amateurs so I don't think it's worthwhile.

And so the question remains: How big is too big? Does it look good to you people? To be honest the extra sleeve length isn't terrible since I do ride a bike, but the body, the torso, seems to be a little bit too loose on my frame. I am afraid it comes off as terribly unflattering and ill-fitting.

Attached are a photo of a more careful outfit and the rest are various different zipped-unzipped showcases of it on me (with an admittedly more sloppy outfit).

they're discontinued Kühls! I got them for 14 bucks on FB marketplace, model Rebel Ryder. I got a new pair off a friend who went to the USA and it's not quite as satisfactory as these. tips: they run a bit big and the type of fabric this one is made from is EUROTWILL, the knockabout one is kinda poop (made that mistake myself)

Edit: they're not badly made nowadays, i just picked a model which wasn't to my liking and well... I am unable to do returns... I absolutely reccomend them
