Choosing the right size is essential when purchasing leather garments. Unlike stretch fabrics, leather is structured and does not expand significantly, so selecting the correct fit from the start is important.
Understanding Leather Fit
Leather jackets and coats are designed with a more tailored structure. This means:
- They do not stretch like cotton or knitwear
- Your usual t-shirt size may not reflect your correct jacket size
- It is best to base your choice on your standard jacket or blazer size
If you are between sizes, we recommend choosing the larger size for comfort, especially if you plan to layer clothing underneath.
How to Measure Yourself
Chest
Wrap a measuring tape around the fullest part of your chest, keeping it level across your back and under your arms.
Shoulders
Measure across your back from one shoulder edge to the other.
Sleeve Length
Measure from the top of your shoulder down to your wrist, with your arm slightly bent.
Waist
Measure around your natural waistline, typically just above your hips.
Jacket Length Guidance
Jacket length can vary depending on style. Some designs sit at the waist, while others are slightly longer.
- If you prefer a longer fit, check the product’s length details
- Taller individuals may want to choose styles with extended length
- Shorter cuts are designed for a more fitted, modern look
Size Selection Tips
- Compare your measurements with a jacket you already own
- Avoid choosing a size smaller than your actual measurements
- Allow extra room if you plan to wear layers underneath
