How to is this said

He loves this jacket so much that he's put on weight just to be able to fit into the jacket that was once too big. He likes the shadow it gives him.

By I like the shadow it gives me I am trying to say that when he looks down at the ground and sees his shadow he likes the way the jacket looks.

Thank you beforehand

Hi,

1. He loves this jacket so much that he's put on weight, so that he will be able to fit into the jacket which was once too big. He likes the shadow it gives him.

2. As I like the shadow it gives me, I'm trying to say that when he looks down at the ground

and sees his shadow, he loves the look of his jacket.

Regards

This is so unnatural that it's actually painful to read.

Try this:

He loves this jacket so much that he's put on weight so it will fit him. He likes the way it makes him look.

If he needs to gain weight so the jacked will fit then obviously it was too big to begin with. There's no need to state facts that are obvious from the context.

Would it be possible to include something like " I like the shadow it gives me"? How would you say that Malrey?

AnonymousI like the shadow it gives me"? How would you say that Malrey?

I wouldn't. The idiomatic way to say that is "I like the way it makes me look." or "I like the way it looks on me."
