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.

Review topics: [].
"Good quality product, nice fit and finishes. I am 5'8 weight 190lb, workout 3 times a week and had a regular diet. This fits perfect."
"I like the style and look. I only think the inner stitching doesn't feel luxurious; it's kind of a low-quality finish. The outer finishing is very good. It needs a little padding and nice quality inner materials."
"Easy purchase, quick delivery with solid packaging of the item. Nice quality leather. L true size for me"
"I recently retired after 20 years of flying F-18s. I wanted to wear a nice brown bomber jacket, but the Navy issued version is low quality. The Buffalo Jackson version is a great fit, high quality and very similar to the authentic military version. I wish I would have bought this 20 years ago to wear with my flight suit."
"My Son love his jacket. Great product."
"I bought the bomber jacket in brown for my husband for Christmas and he absolutely loved it, but it was just a little tight in the shoulders. Buffalo Jackson made the exchange so easy. Within a week, my husband had his new XL jacket and we are both so pleased. The quality is top notch and I suspect that this jacket will only get better with age."
"Awesome jacket. I love the look and the feel of the leather. It feels like I’ve been wearing it for years."
"I love the look of the jacket, unfortunately it was too small and sent it back for an exchange. I have a leather jacket that I purchased maybe 20 years ago and it was a large. I ordered 2x and it was too small so I am hoping the 3x will do the job. if it does that will be AWESOME!"
"This is a great jacket with a hoodie underneath it it's good to about 20 degrees, the material is excellent quality and the workmen ship is outstanding and I've gotten lots of complements on this jacket and some from complete strangers. Hey man that's a nice jacket all I can see is Buffalo Jackson check them out. I'm quite pleased with this jacket and might have to look to see what other items they offer."
"Very satisfied with my jacket. I exchanged a different jacket for this bomber style maverick. The exchange went very smooth and quickly."
Crated with soft, genuine lambskin leather so from day one, it has that vintage, broken-in feel and that distressed brown leather look.
Our brown leather bomber jacket has all the essentials with perfectly placed side hand pockets, two interior chest pockets, and classically styled ribbed sleeve cuffs and waist.
Customize your warmth with a button on/button off detachable sherpa collar. Yes, we’ve thought of everything.
