A leather jacket that fits perfectly is gold. When you slip your arms in the sleeves and the cuffs fall in just the right place, the back hangs perfectly on your shoulders, the waist flatters and buttons or zips without pulling and bunching, that’s called the “money fit”. You look like a million bucks feel like a million bucks and move with comfort and confidence. Beautiful.

Custom made leather jacket from ShorelineTraders is an affordable luxury. For the cost of a tank and half of gasoline you can have a custom made leather jacket, seriously. $60 buys you made to order sleeves, the perfect fit around your chest or waist, flattering shoulders wrapped in leather. If you live in a changeable or cooler climate consider adding a zip-in/zip-out thinsulate liner. The attractive liner adds the warmth equivalent of two sweaters, but without the bulk, for a ridiculously low price of $28.

How do you know if you need a big or tall jacket?

Men’s Tall:  If you are taller than 6’2” and your waist is smaller than your chest, you need tall. Chances are most off the rack items probably don’t hang down far enough on you and sleeves are most likely just a bit too short. When you go up a size you probably run into problems of bagginess around the waist area and excessive length.

Men’s Big: Using 6’2” as the benchmark, if you are below that and your waist measures the same or bigger than your chest, this is you. Shopping challenges you run into are stretching across the lower back or too much fabric in the shoulders.

Custom fit lets you buy for fit not for size. Wearing clothing that’s made just for you is a good look, on anyone.

Women have equally frustrating challenges buying off the rack leather jackets. A slightly cinched waist on a jacket for ladies with larger chests eliminates the common “tent” look to clothing. Taller women can have the jacket hang to just mid-way down the derrière, flattering their height without trying to hide it.

You can be wearing your favorite leather jacket, made just for you, fitting you in all the right places. It’s only a few clicks away!
