How should a leather jacket fit?

Getting the right fit is a big part of pulling off the leather look successfully. This type of jacket should be fitted so avoid opting for a size bigger than normal. Here are some steps to follow to ensure yours fits right.

1. Make sure there's enough room to move your arms without any stiffness - nobody likes a robot on the dancefloor.
2. The length of the jacket should land exactly on your waist while the sleeves should end at your wrists, not extending onto your palm.
3. Be aware of the fit of the jacket itself - some may have a slight oversized effect, but it should still fit your waist and arm length.
4. Check to see if the shoulders of the jacket match up with your own; if it's tight on the shoulder and lays more to the neck, it's probably too small, whereas if it goes over your shoulder and towards your arm, it's too big. If the shoulders, waist length and sleeves match up, you're good to go.
