What do you get when you combine the iconic structure of a denim trucker jacket with the rugged class of a fine leather jacket? You get the Driggs Leather Jacket.

The Driggs is crafted with 100% full-grain cow leather with antique brass buttons and seam details to match those classic denim jackets. Two front pockets on the chest and two welted pockets at the sides are in just the right places. The interior includes a diamond quilted polyester lining for easy cleaning and an inside left chest pocket. This leather jacket runs true to size, but check the sizing guide to be sure. 

While we love the heritage of denim jackets, first introduced in the late 19th century as work apparel for the likes of cowboys, miners, and railroad workers, we had to make it our own —and make it leather. This brown leather denim jacket will easily become your year-round go-to, and the more you wear it, the better it will look.

How to Measure Yourself

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.

How should a leather jacket fit?

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.
