It's your jacket and you deserve the fit that you want, but take a look at the Raiders jacket on the main page, second photo, with Ford double handed his whip. The original was slightly an off the shoulder jacket, but then again, you may not like the fit. If it is still wet, I'd be inclined to throw it in the dryer using the hot setting for say, 15-20 minutes? This would cause it to shrink slightly and also the sleeves might shrink to just the right length? Looks good on you, though. your call.
On the other hand, some jackets that I have been impressed with looked like a cross between a motorcycle jacket and an A-2, but that is a personal preference thing. This is an alternate style. Not entirely accurate to the movie; but I like the way your jacket is breaking in in these photos, all things considered. Enjoy!
I know Raiders is off the shoulder, but mine is too off the shoulder... I still want that Raiders look, but mine jacket needs some adjustements. My other lambskin jacket is off the shoulder also, the fit is not perfect, bt better than my new one. The real problem is the sides, toooo wide. This needs fixing, no doubt of that.
I am affraid about hot dryer... that might ruin my jacket. But will talk to Peter about this and see what he says...
As for the leather breaking in, that's the best part of the jacket. The skin is soooo nice.
