Great advice Del! Isn't it funny how times and styles have changed over the years as well. Compare the fits that were popular in the 1950's vs. the oversized clothing of the 1990's. Both of those jackets fit you really well.

So different! Just take a stroll down Aero's catalog and you can see fitment changing with the different eras. As to the advice, thank you! You may very well want to claw out your eyes if you do a youtube search for "leather jacket fit" and listen to all the bad overly specific advice out there lol

a vest should fit under it, because leather jacket and vest combo rocks, same with chunky turtleneck should fit under it because the combo also rocks, to me the sign of over size jacket is the neck hole, if the collar fits nicely then the jacket will look nice, if the collar is loose then the jacket will appear too big. nice vid!

At 5'8" and 190lbs with a muscular build, I could have used this when I ordered my first real full grain leather jacket. I have three now. The first is a medium, and the other two are larges. The length of the medium is good, but it's tight. Double rider and trucker style jackets are shorter than regular jackets anyway, so the larges aren't too long for me.

Yes for me it was all a shot in the dark with first purchases. Even so there are still surprises; my Aero Highwayman fits very comfortably with about 23" chest. Due to the weight of the leather and restrictions from the design much smaller than that would be too tight
@supersaiyan7046

@DudsByDel Yes, with the first jacket I bought it based on my chest measurements but forgot to take into account that I'll be inside the jacket, so the jacket measurement has to be bigger than my chest. Also a lot of the models for jackets tend to be tall skinny guys which doesn't help me.

Interesting. Thanks. I’m also a 40 chest, but taller than Del at 6’2”. I also live in a cooler climate where I rarely wear just a t-shirt under my jacket. I find that size 40 for an outer jacket is almost always very small. I will usually get a 42 for a trim fit and a 44 for a fit with lots of winter layering.

I Have Multiple Leather jackets and I prefer a slim fitting style in a true to size large. So that way its trim fitting but NOT tight. That way I Can Layer. I can fit a hand under it when halfway zipped. For my first jacket I Got a "Second Skin" and although it looks great it is a bit uncomfortable and I STILL have some trouble moving. Breaking it in did not Magically solve everything.

Its beyond frustrating to find a proper fitting jacket. Brands like schott make jackets to fit the average guy, then their slim fits are slightly less average. Then i have a mutant build so its damn impossible. I wish custom jackets weren’t nightmarishly expensive.

Do you have really broad shoulders and long arms or something like that? Anyone with a build far out from the average, which for example includes bodybuilders and other serious athletes, have trouble with off the rack. That being said, you may just focus on getting one or two custom jackets in styles you really admire.

I bought the Taylor Stitch Moto Jacket collaboration with Golden Bear. They said my measure would be XS but I feel that it is only comfortable if it is open. It can fully close but I feel pressure in my chest. Also it looks that the chest stretches if I close it and put hands in pockets. Would you say I need to size up? Some people say that the leather will stretch and that the slim fit is ideal… but I am not sure. Do leather jackets really stretch?

Hi Del, I often find new biker leather jackets armholes cut into the underside of the upper arm slightly when I try them on. Should they be avoided, or does the armhole usually soften up enough to wear comfortably? These are often horsehide jackets Im trying on.

@@DudsByDel These are modern Japanese repro makers, the real mccoys buco, & the flathead double rider. Both seem just right, but the armhole catches the upper arm, Im not sure if it all loosens up if the armhole will come up and sit in the actual armhole or not. Perhaps the Japanese makers are making for the asian market with a different proportions which causes issues)
