How to Measure Custom Size for a Leather Jacket

by Wasamix — Crafted for Excellence

When ordering a custom-sized leather jacket from Wasamix, providing accurate measurements is essential to ensuring the perfect fit. Please follow these detailed step-by-step instructions to measure yourself accurately. Use a flexible measuring tape and ensure the tape is snug but not tight. All measurements should be taken in inches or centimeters.

1. Chest Size

• How to Measure:
  • Stand up straight, relax your arms at your sides.
  • Wrap the measuring tape around the fullest part of your chest, just under your armpits.
  • Make sure the tape is parallel to the ground and snug but not tight.
• Record the Measurement: Ensure that you breathe naturally and avoid inflating your chest.

Pro Tip: The chest measurement is crucial for the upper body fit of your jacket.

2. Waist Size

• How to Measure:
  • Measure around your natural waistline, typically located just above your belly button.
  • Keep the measuring tape comfortably snug.
• Record the Measurement: Don’t pull the tape too tight, as this can result in an overly snug fit.

Pro Tip: This measurement ensures that the jacket fits well around the midsection without being too tight or loose.

3. Shoulder Width

• How to Measure:
  • Stand with a relaxed posture.
  • Measure from the end of one shoulder to the end of the other across your back.
  • Ensure the tape runs straight across and is level.
• Record the Measurement: This measurement will determine how the jacket sits across your shoulders.

Pro Tip: Shoulder width ensures comfort in movement and prevents the jacket from feeling restrictive.

4. Sleeve Length

• How to Measure:
  • Place the measuring tape at the top of your shoulder, where the shoulder seam would sit.
  • Measure down to your wrist with your arm slightly bent.
• Record the Measurement: This ensures the sleeve length is accurate and allows for comfortable arm movement.

Pro Tip: Bending the arm slightly while measuring gives a more accurate measurement for ease of movement.

5. Jacket Length

• How to Measure:
  • Start at the base of your neck (just below your collar) and measure down to your desired jacket length.
  • For shorter jackets, measure to your waist; for longer styles, measure to your hips or slightly below.
• Record the Measurement: Make sure you decide on the jacket length based on your style preference.

Pro Tip: The length of the jacket affects its style and overall fit. Be sure to measure carefully depending on whether you prefer a cropped or longer style.

6. Bicep Size

• How to Measure:
  • Wrap the measuring tape around the fullest part of your upper arm.
  • Keep your arm relaxed by your side while measuring.
• Record the Measurement: This measurement ensures the sleeves are roomy enough for comfort.

Pro Tip: A comfortable sleeve is important to prevent the jacket from feeling tight around your arms, especially when layered.

7. Wrist Size

• How to Measure:
  • Measure around your wrist where the cuff of the jacket will sit.
• Record the Measurement: Ensure you leave a little room for comfort, especially if you wear a watch.

Pro Tip: A well-fitted cuff ensures that the sleeves sit perfectly at your wrists and don’t ride up.

8. Hip Size (For Longer Jackets)

• How to Measure:
  • Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your hips, usually around 7-9 inches below your waist.
• Record the Measurement: This is important for longer jackets that extend past the waist.

Pro Tip: If you’re ordering a longer jacket, this measurement ensures the jacket fits comfortably around your hips.

9. Back Length

• How to Measure:
  • Measure from the base of your neck down your back to the point where you want the jacket to end.
• Record the Measurement: This is particularly important for ensuring the jacket isn’t too short or too long.

Pro Tip: For a modern fit, the jacket should typically end around the waistline or slightly lower, depending on your preference.

10. Additional Recommendations (Optional)

• If you have any special requests, such as preferences for a relaxed or slim fit, or adjustments for layering, please let us know when placing your order.
