Every year, I find a splurge piece I love and then dither on sizing, feeling that for the investment it has to be perfect. Last year it was the tweed Smythe jacket (which ended up being perfection and I can't wait to wear it again), this year it's the Classiques moto.

I originally bought it in the regular Small. The body fits well, but the sleeves have been bugging me as they're a bit wide and definitely long. I received the XS today. The body is quite snug, but the sleeve width and length looks and feels much better.

This is what I've considered already:

~In the few Classiques tops (silk shells, etc) I've tried, the XS fit much better than Small.

~I like the sleeker fit of the XS but also get that many motos look good slightly oversized.
~I wear my jackets open and almost exclusively with fine-gauge knits rather than chunky sweaters (although that could change).
~The shoulders in both fit similarly.
~You can see in several of the pics that the sleeves on the Small go over my knuckles.

~I tried the petite version and the sleeves were much too short

I really need some opinions about which looks better. The XS is on the left of each collage while the Small is on the right.

Ack! Thoughts?
