Leather Jacket Size Guide

Q: What if my jacket does not fit?

Contact us and we will arrange an exchange or return. See our Return & Exchange Policy.

Short answer: Measure your chest with a soft tape, find that number in the chart below, and order that size. Do not go by the label on a jacket you already own, because sizes differ from brand to brand.

How to Measure Yourself

What you need: A soft measuring tape, a thin t-shirt, and two minutes. Stand relaxed, keep the tape flat against your body, and do not pull it tight.

Chest (most important)

Wrap the tape around the widest part of your chest, under your armpits and straight across your back. Breathe out normally, then read the number.

Waist

Measure around the narrowest part of your torso, usually a little above your belly button.

Shoulders

Measure across your upper back, from the bony tip of one shoulder to the other. Ask someone to help if you can.

Sleeve

Bend your elbow slightly. Measure from the tip of your shoulder, down the outside of your arm, to your wrist bone.

Length

Measure from the bone at the base of your neck straight down to where you want the jacket to end.

Tip: If you only take one measurement, make it the chest. That is the number that decides your size.

How a Leather Jacket Should Fit

A new leather jacket should feel snug, not tight. Check these four points when you try it on:

Shoulders: The seam sits right at the edge of your shoulder, not hanging down your arm.
Chest: You can zip it up over a t-shirt without the leather pulling.
Sleeves: They end at your wrist bone when your arms hang down, and still cover your wrists when you reach forward.
Movement: You can cross your arms and reach ahead without the back feeling like it will split.

Leather relaxes with wear and shapes itself to your body. It does not shrink back. A jacket that starts slightly close will become comfortable, while one that starts loose only gets looser.

Fit by Jacket Style

Biker / Moto

Short and close to the body. Our advice: Order your measured size.

Cafe Racer

Slim and minimal. Our advice: Measured size; go up one only if you dislike a fitted look.

Bomber

Roomier body, ribbed cuffs and hem. Our advice: Measured size, even with a light layer under it.

Trucker

Straight and slightly boxy. Our advice: Order your measured size.

Blazer

Structured shoulders, longer body. Our advice: Check the shoulder measurement as well as chest.

Long Coat

Made to go over other clothes. Our advice: Go up one if you wear thick layers.

Between Two Sizes?

Decide by what you will wear underneath.

T-shirt or shirt: Choose the smaller size. The leather will ease up within a few weeks.
Hoodie or thick sweater: Choose the larger size.
Broad shoulders or a fuller midsection: Choose the larger size so the zip closes comfortably.

Still not sure? Send your chest, waist and height to our contact page and tell us which jacket you want. We will confirm your size before you order.

Sizing for Leather Suits

For a suit, we need a few more numbers: chest, waist, hips, inseam (crotch to ankle), thigh, and your height and weight. A suit should fit closer than a jacket, so measure over thin clothing and send us the figures if you are unsure.

Custom sizing is available on request.
