Wiki:

A straitjacket is a garment shaped like a jacket with overlong sleeves and which is typically used to restrain a person who may otherwise cause harm to him/herself and others. The ends of the sleeves can be tied to the back of the wearer, so that the arms are kept close to the chest with possibility of only little movement. Although straitjacket is the most common form, strait-jacket is also frequently used, and in Scotland, strait-waistcoat.

Example:

After playing a theremin, all other instruments make you feel like youre in a straitjacket. They put Tom in a straitjacket.
