The Black Zip-Up Jacket with Shoulder Pads has a visibly angular shoulder line in its Black product photos. The title calls out shoulder pads, but a front photograph does not show what is inside the shoulder or whether a pad can be removed. If that shape is the reason you are considering the jacket, begin at the shoulder measurement, then check chest, sleeve and hem together.

Compare the shoulder line with a jacket you own

The item chart lists shoulders of 54 cm in M, 55 cm in L and 57 cm in XL. Lay a jacket with a shoulder shape you like on a flat surface and measure between its shoulder seams. Mark where that seam falls on you when worn. If your reference measures 55 cm between comparable points, the listed L is the closest number; that does not prove the finished silhouette will match. The MAXCT listing does not define where its shoulder measurement starts or ends, and internal padding can change the apparent edge.

Ask for a flat photograph of the selected size with a tape across the shoulder seams, plus an inside-out close-up of one shoulder. That should help establish whether a separate pad is sewn in, can be removed, or whether the structure comes from the cut alone. Do not plan to alter or remove a pad based only on the product name.

Keep room through the chest without moving the shoulder too far

The listed chest increases from 130 cm in M to 134 cm in L and 138 cm in XL. Across those two size steps, the shoulder increases 3 cm while the chest increases 8 cm. Put on the thickest shirt you expect to wear under this jacket, then measure a comfortable jacket over a similar layer. Compare both its chest circumference and shoulder span with the product numbers. Confirm that the listing’s chest column is a finished circumference before calculating ease; a body measurement and a garment measurement cannot be compared as if they were the same thing.

Finish with cuff reach and hem position

Sleeve length is listed as 64, 65 and 67 cm from M to XL; length is 66, 68 and 70 cm. Compare the sleeve from shoulder seam to cuff on your reference jacket only if the seller uses the same endpoints. For the hem, measure from the same upper point to the lower edge, then check where that falls relative to the waist of the trousers you plan to wear. Sizing up for chest room also changes sleeve and hem; the chart does not offer a way to adjust those independently.

One source note says a 184 cm, 69 kg model wore L. That is a single styling reference, not a rule for your size. The live choices are Black and Coffee color in M–XL. Check the exact product option, request the inside-shoulder view and measurement endpoints, and select the size whose shoulder line and closed-jacket chest both fit your intended layer.
