Check width and length separately
A larger chest size does not automatically mean longer sleeves or a longer body. Take those measurements separately, especially if jackets usually fit your chest but finish too high at the waist. Our leather jacket measurement guide shows where to measure the shoulders, arms and torso before comparing a product's chart.
Choose a shape that suits your usual layers
A leather bomber can sit closer at the hem, while a racer jacket gives a straighter outline through the front. Check the hem measurement as well as the chest if you prefer a jacket to close over a sweater. Our silhouette comparison explains the differences between the main cuts.
Keep movement part of the fit check
When fastened, the jacket should allow you to reach forward and sit comfortably. A close shoulder fit should not pull sharply across the back. Compare alternative designs in our full men's leather jacket collection if one cut does not suit your proportions.
People also ask
Does this collection use a separate tall-size system?
Check the size chart on the selected jacket. A collection name alone does not confirm extra sleeve or body length, so use the published measurements and ask about any dimensions that are not listed.
Should I order a larger size for extra length?
Sizing up can add unwanted width without providing the length you need. Compare the measurements first and consider made-to-measure where offered.
What should I measure for a more comfortable fit?
Check your chest, waist, shoulders, sleeves and the desired jacket length. Take body measurements as instructed, without adding your own allowance unless the measurement guidance asks for it.
