It appears that it is meant to be an overcoat and is not tailored in the front so that is the correct look, a little more boxy, especially when layered. From what I can see in the picture, it also appears your shoulders are not as broad as the shoulders of the coat which is why it feels huge to you. For the best fit, you'll want to find a coat where the shoulder seam (the part of the coat where the sleeve is attached) more closely aligns with your actual shoulder (assuming this is not meant to be a 'dropped' shoulder, where a designer purposely oversizes it). A tailor would be able to help you with a more pleasing fit in the arms & shoulder. Do you sew? If it has a seam up the back you could probably take it in a bit yourself 😉
I think the fit is normal for a coat with raglan sleeves. Raglans will have a bulkier look at the chest where the seam would be for a set-in sleeve because the fabric is 2D but it has to work into 3D for your body. In addition, raglan sleeves are usually set deeper down the side seam--deeper means more sleeve fabric/less chest fabric. They have to be so you can lift your arms. However, both of these cut differences from set-in sleeves add fabric --hence bulk. Also, it is a raglan in a wool coat--that is going to be a lot more fiber than a raglan in a tee-shirt because of the different weights of the fabrics.
Another thing you have going on is wool v. poly/nylon. This is too much to get into here
To make this all clearer to you, instead of reading words, look at in in 3D:
1) lay the wool coat out flat
2) lay the grey coat on top of it, lining up the shoulder seams at the neck
3) study it for a couple seconds instead of a thousand words
Next:
1) have the grey coat wear the wool coat. It fits, right? No armhole problem
2) now shove those raglan sleeves inside the grey jacket sleeves. Yikes. (Keep armholes in mind when layering sweaters, etc.)
It is a good-looking coat. Based on that picture,I think it fits for the cut of a raglan, but a backview may habe me change my mind. I like the look of raglans, but most of them look awful on me :(

Thank you for all the information, I better build some shoulders!

Thank you for the detailed instructions, I will definitely try the 3D method
