To ensure a good fit according to your body type, follow our expert guide on measuring for a more precise fit for your leather jacket.
Key points to remember before measuring are:
Stand naturally without puffing out your chest too much
Don't pull your stomach in too much. This can alter measurements
Compare your measurements to the size chart attached to the image of the jacket you selected.
Measure over clothing to get more accurate results if you need to layer it later.
Use a soft measurement tape for precise and accurate measurements.
Men's measurement guide
Chest: Start by measuring the fullest part of your chest. Ensure the tape is horizontal and gives you a snug fit, not tight. A snug fit means the tape is comfortably close to your body, allowing for a slight movement. A tight fit, on the other hand, would be when the tape is so close to your body that it restricts movement. Relax your arms by your sides and stand upright; this provides more accurate measurements.
Shoulders: start with the edge of one shoulder, taking the tape across your back to the other shoulder edge, keeping the tape flat and straight. For more accuracy, measure just above the shoulder blades.
Sleeve length: Start with the top of your shoulder (where the shoulder seam would sit) to your wrist bone. Make sure your arm is slightly bent before taking the measurement. For those who prefer longer sleeves, measure an extra inch.
Waist: take measurements around your natural waistline just above your belly button. Keep the taper sung and straight for accurate measurements.
Back length: start by measuring from the base of your neck (where shoulder and neck meet) to your waistline. Measure down where you want the jacket to end for a longer fit.
Remember, if you plan on layering, it's always a good idea to size up. This pro tip ensures you're prepared for any situation.
Women's Measurement Guide
Bust: First, start off by measuring around the fullest part of your bust. Keep the tape horizontal and straight for accurate measurements.
Shoulders: Start by measuring one edge of the shoulder and moving to the other shoulder edge, keeping the tape straight and flat across your back.
Sleeve length: start by measuring from the top of your shoulder to your wrist bone. Keep your arm slightly bent for a comfortable fit, allowing you comfortable movements.
Waist: Measure around the narrowest part of your natural waist, keeping the tape sung and straight.
Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your natural hops while keeping the tape sung and straight. This measurement ensures a good fit around your hips for longer jackets.
Back length: starting with the nape of your neck (where the neck meets the shoulder) down to your waistline or desired jacket length.
And don't forget, if you're planning on layering, it's best to size up. This pro tip ensures you're confident and knowledgeable about your purchase.
