Ark Leathers Size Guide

Find Your
Perfect Fit

Ark Leathers jackets are sized to US standards. Our men’s leather jackets, women’s leather jackets and biker’s leather jackets are cut to fit true to size with a tailored, modern shape. Leather doesn’t stretch like cotton or wool, so measure carefully before you order.

Sizing Tips

  • Between sizes? Choose the larger size. Leather softens and molds to your body, but it won’t stretch much in length or shoulder width.
  • Layering: If you’ll wear thick sweaters under the jacket, go up one size.
  • Shoulders matter most: Shoulder seams should sit at the edge of your shoulder. This is the one area a tailor can’t easily change.
  • Sleeves: Sleeves should end at the base of your wrist bone. Leather sleeves can be shortened by a professional, but not lengthened.
  • Not sure? Contact us at owner@arksolutionsny.com and we’ll help you choose.
  • Easy returns: If your Ark Leathers jacket doesn’t fit, return it within 30 days. See our Returns Policy.
