Wondering What’ll Be the Ideal Sized Mens Jacket? Read This!

Leather jackets are elegant and versatile pieces of clothing that have been in fashion for decades. They are stylish, masculine, long-lasting, and never going out of style. 

If you don’t own one, you might be missing the best apparel in your wardrobe. That said, choosing the right-sized leather jacket can be a pain. Your investment will go down the drain if you end up buying a poorly-fitted jacket. 

This is where we step in. 

Mentioned below are useful tips on how to select the right-sized jacket. Read it till the end!

How to Take Body Measurements

A lot goes into selecting the best leather jacket. Some of the considerations include:

  • Which color you should pick
  • What style is best for the person you are
  • What could be the most crucial factor is the size. 

The jacket you choose should fit like it’s a glove and look as though it was designed specifically for you. 

What do you require: A measuring tape

A quick tip: When you are not equipped with a second pair of hands, you can use a jacket you already have in your wardrobe. Use that as your reference!

Step 1: Chest

Sit up straight and spread your arms for a chest measurement. Wrap the tape measure around your chest’s upper part (you might require an additional pair of hands to help you) and note down the measurements.

Step 2: Shoulder Width 

Your jacket’s shoulders need to look perfect but not too tight and not too loose. For this task on your own, take the black or brown leather jacket you are familiar with and check the fit. Measure from the seam on your right shoulder to the left. If you have an assistant, have them put the tape measurement across your back between the shoulders. Write down the measurement so that you don’t forget.

Step 3: Length of Jacket

Set the tape measure on your shoulder (use the seam of a t-shirt as your starting point here). Then, bring the tape measure to the top of your hip. Write down the measurement before proceeding to the final step.

Step 4: Length of Jacket Sleeves 

The correct length of your sleeve is essential in making sure your clothes appear elegant and perfect. Bend your arms a little and put your hand on your hip. Measure starting from the middle of the back of your neck down your arm, all the way to your wrist.

How to find your size (US)?

Chest Width (inch)Height (inch)US Size
36 to 3865 to 67Small (S)
38 to 4067 to 68Medium (M)
40 to 4268 to 69Large (L)
42 to 4469 to 70Large (L)
44 to 4570 to 71Extra Large (XL)

Fit and Feel of Your Leather Jacket

The most common mistake men make when purchasing a leather jacket is buying an oversized piece. While the jacket should not be too tight, going one size larger than the actual size could create a boxy appearance. 

So, it is essential to ensure that your jacket fits slightly snug around your shoulders, as well as through your waist and chest. If you are between two sizes, it would be better to choose the smaller size. If you purchase an excellent quality coat made of leather, the size is likely to increase as time passes. 

A tailor cannot alter the leather jackets. So it is vital to ensure that you choose the correct size from the beginning. The sleeves should meet right in the place where your wrist begins to bend. A simple tip for measuring the length would be to ensure that your jacket is just the point where your belt loops are. 

Final Word

Finding the right-sized leather jacket can be a challenge. However, taking the proper measurements, knowing the way they’ll fit, and then making sure you shop in the right places will assist you in finding the perfect one.

Good luck!

Reasons to Buy More Flats for Your Shoe Collection

Some people are so focused on the acquisition of stilettos, strappy sandals, kitten heels and other shoes that they forget all about the flats! There are some who even reduce themselves to just a single pair of flats in a sea of heels. This is a mistake. Flats are as varied as any other type of women’s shoe, from ballet flats in different styles and colours to more toned-down and modest flats in leather, and even the humble sneaker.

There are just so many reasons to keep your collection well-stocked with flats!

Reason 1: Better Support

The days of women being compelled to wear heels for “the right look” are gone. Men have long favoured comfort over anything else when looking at new shoes, so why shouldn’t women? Heels, wedges and other extreme features can really set off a shoe design and make it pop, especially when it’s paired with the right outfit, but they rarely if ever offer anything remotely beneficial in foot support.

The fact is that excessive wearing of high heels can lead to serious foot health problems. Flats should be a default that you turn to during the times where high fashion isn’t necessarily called for. If you wear heels more than a few times a week, then your feet need all the support and comfort they can get to recover. Flats should be your default go-to after heels, in that case.

Reason 2: Stability and Confidence

Not everyone is Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City, running around Manhattan in heels seemingly without ever losing an iota of her balance. For the many who don’t feel so stable or secure when wearing heels, especially stiletto and platform heels, flats offer the best chance of confidence and grace when walking. Just being able to walk down the street safe in the knowledge that you won’t lose your balance is a huge boost, and what’s more flats are more beautiful than ever (see below).

Reason 3: Flats are NOT Less Attractive

The somewhat odd thing is the way that in the world of shoe fashion, the term “flats” has for many become synonymous with shoes that lack chic appeal or fashion status. This is completely false! You don’t have to venture into high heels to find a pair of shoes that are both stylish and statement-worthy.

Reason 4: Flats are Better for Working

With more women than ever active in the workforce, the appeal of flats is growing. There may have been a time when workplaces could require women to wear heels, but no more. As women’s choices become more open and we less and less expect heels as a default setting, people are naturally turning to flats as the comfortable and supportive options to wear for the long work day.

Reason 5: Easier Packing

If you’re a keen traveller, or you have to travel for business a lot, then flats are your friend compared to heels. Anyone who has tried to pack heels into limited-size luggage for a short weekend trip knows that flats are far better, easier to stow in small luggage, and leave room for other essentials. Even if you pack them in a separate container to keep dirt off your clothes, flats fit into smaller, more compact rectangular packaging where heels do not.

Reason 6: Flats Are Often More Sustainable

Where heels and other glamorous shoes are made with leather and high-end plastics that have quite an impact on the environment, many modern flats are made from more eco-friendly materials, including repurposed plastic water bottles, in some cases. As things currently stand, flats are a better bet for environmentally friendly footwear compared to heels.
