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.
