j180 vs 130

Recommendation request

hey guys, I've been looking into getting a j130 or whatever the current model is called, and I found a j280 on Ebay for a decent price. however, it is a large and I think that would be too big for me. I have a vest from last year that is medium and is perfect. I also prefer the old look (fade, leather patch) a lot over the new ones. should I get a brand new j130 or the too big one that's 30% cheaper but looks nicer?

For me, sizing is everything as I like a cropped at the waist look. Always ask for measurements though, the larges on a lot of active jackets seem to vary by type and product.
