Shopping online, as most of us do nowadays, you’ll want to know your measurements to help ensure a great fit. The sketch below shows where to take measurements to compare to clothing you already own. Keep in mind, however, those measurements will only be helpful if taken correctly. Tip: don’t let the measuring tape hang loose when you’re measuring, but avoid pulling the tape excessively tight. Here’s how to get accurate measurements:
Length: Measure from the bottom of the collar to the waist seam.
Shoulders: Measure between the top of the sleeve seams.
Chest: Measure the entire circumference of your chest. Begin with one end of the measuring tape 1 inch below the armhole at the fullest part of your chest. Then, keeping the tape level, wrap it around (under your armpits, around your shoulder blades, and back to the front) to get the measurement.
Sleeve: Accurately measuring sleeve length is tough to do yourself, so ask someone to help with this. Beginning with one end of the tape at the top of your arm, then down to your wrist. This entire length is your arm-length measurement.
Do the same rules apply to how a jacket should fit as to other jackets or outerwear? Not necessarily. Read on for details.
Leather will stretch over time, so you never want to start with a leather jacket that is too big. But that doesn’t mean you want a jacket that’s too small! It’s also essential to allow room for layers under your leather jacket. Here are a few specific tips for finding a leather jacket that fits just right:
Chest: Leather jackets ought to fit more snugly through the chest than a regular overcoat, but consider the types of layers you may want to wear underneath. If you live in a warm climate and will be layering over light clothing such as a dress shirt or t-shirt, we recommend adding 2-3 inches to your measured chest size. If you live in a colder climate and layering over heavier clothing such as sweaters, we recommend adding 3-4 inches to your chest size. If you land between sizes, we recommend sizing up to the next size available. Tip: you should be able to comfortably zip or button your leather jacket all the way up, even if you plan to wear it open.
Shoulders: Suit coat rules do not apply to leather jackets, so it's okay if the shoulder comes down your arm a few inches. However, even though the leather will give over time if the shoulder seam is higher than your shoulder, the jacket is too small.
Waist: The bottom of your leather jacket should not reach below the bottom of your belt/top of your thigh. This is likely shorter than other overcoats you've owned, but a leather jacket that hangs well below the belt is too big unless you're wearing a long leather trench coat.
Sleeve Length: The proper sleeve length on a leather jacket is consistent with pretty much any jacket: sleeves should end at your wrist.

"I ordered this Buffalo Jackson driving jacket and a competitors version. Hands down the Buffalo Jackson jacket was superior in quality and fit and I sent back the competitor jacket. I’m 6’2 and 215lbs and the XL size fits perfectly. I’ve had the opportunity to drive my Porsche Boxster in upper 40’s and low 50’s weather with the top down and this jacket kept me warm. The quilt liner is a bonus! Love the jacket!!"
"This is my fourth jacket from Buffalo Jackson, and it is my favorite so far. I regret not checking the size chart before ordering. My previous two jackets were slightly oversized, but this one is significantly better. I typically order a M for other items or brands, but the leather jackets from BJ’s appear to be slightly wider—perhaps it is simply the nature of the material. The material and craftsmanship are unparalleled for the price, especially during occasional sales of 15-20% off."
"This jacket is nice, i like wearing it when i drive my fast car. Thanks."
"Love the way this jacket fits and feels. I’ve had this jacket for about a month, and have gotten so many compliments from people who’ve seen me wear it. As a 5’8” 160 lb male who works out, the medium size is a great fit for me."
"I got this for my husband for Christmas and was very nervous about it. Shipping was super fast and the fit was perfect. He normally wears an XL but after reading another review, I decided to go up a size and I’m glad I did…it’s absolutely stunning on my man!!!!! He loves it and looks amazing in it. When we purchased again, it will be from here. Thank you again for a truly wonderful item."
"This jacket fits great and looks perfect right off the truck."
"I ordered the brown jacket in a size small, because I have a pretty small frame. The jacket fit very well except that the shoulders were too big, so it kind of looks like I have shoulder pads lol. There were some strings that were sticking out, like it hadn’t been made properly which was a bit upsetting bc of how much I paid, but it’s not too bad. The jacket was a bit shinier than I would prefer, sometimes I feel like shiny jackets look fake and plastic so I was hoping this would look a bit less shiny, but again nothing serious. Not crazy about the smell but I’m sure it will fade."
"really like the jacket"
"This jacket was a gift for my son, he is 6'5" and has wide shoulders, a lot of jackets do not fit him as well as this. Awesome fit, great quality."
"This jacket was purchased as a gift for my husband. He was filled with enjoyment at the sight of the jacket when he opened the box and then pure joy once he tried it on. It fit perfectly. I purchased the black in a large. He’s 6’3”, 265 lbs, broad shoulders, muscular build in arms and 29” waist. It’s often difficult to locate a jacket that fits his shoulders and isn’t too large in the waist but this jacket was truly perfect. I read over all the reviews prior to purchasing it because of past issues with fit and they helped me decide between the large and x-large."
Crated with soft, genuine lambskin leather so from day one, it has that vintage, broken-in feel and that distressed brown leather look.
