If you had the small to try on, why were you asking us if the medium was too big
If its 'which one fits the best', you have to decide.
If its 'Which one looks the best' you need to show the small as well,
That way the Motorcycle Fashion Police can correctly inform you which is the best look for you.
But be warned, if you get the 'Fashion Police' involved, they'll be more concerned about your oversized riding pants than your jacket..

Just funnin with ya.. The most inportant parts of any riding clothing is your comfort, and protection from the elements..
Ride safe..

looks fine to me. I like a little loose fit. Better if I have to multi layer.

I actually ordered the S but haven't got it here yet so can not tell how tight it fits ... I was also not sure about selling out the M size I have e.g. in Ebay. I think it is a good idea to keep both though ... in winter I wear the looser one M and in summer I wear the S. This is a bit of an expensive choice but is ok.

I also bought the HD jacket "Soulless" model in M but it is surprisingly a bit tighter than this one ... I won't be getting the S for that one though.

I could just drop in to any Swiss Harley store but I would feel very bad using their time and clothing to actually order elsewhere ... find it a bit dishonest but actually don't know who would be more dishonest as they sell the stuff for 2.5x the actual price.

Cheers

Shoot for prices like that I might just have to pick up some jackets and take the with me to Norway and try to dump them when I'm in town. Anyone in that area with requests.

Looks fine to me. Only you can really determine what "fits" right. You need to be comfortable while in your riding position and not too tight across your shoulders while the sleeves cover your wrists. That's the main thing.

Looks fine. Plus you will grow into, through the years, it if it is a bit loose.
Wonderful area that you ride in. I spent a week in Braz ( see attachment pic, close to Bregenz and not far from you ) in Ostereich - beautiful!
Ride safe

Back in the 90's I lived in Geneva for a few months.... what a place ....
Great pepole and place...
As for the jacket, IMHO the test should be hpw you feel riding with it. not how it looks...

In Norway I don't know but here in Switzerland all HD accessories and clothing are several times more expensive. Btw I paid 23k for my new Fat Bob 2011 the base price for the normal (not CVO) Fat Bob is 21'800.-CHF read one-to-one to USD. The new price here for a Fat Bob CVO is 38k!! but in Switzerland the salaries are also much higher than in US and way less taxes ... anyway after riding my new Fat Bob I find driving my car very boring.

Cheers,
TapiroLee
