Quick answers about sizing, custom fit, delivery, materials and care at Original Leather Jacket. If your question is not here, send an enquiry or message us on WhatsApp and we will reply by email, usually with options and a price.
Sizing and Fit
How should a leather jacket fit?
The shoulder seams sit on the edge of your shoulder bone, the sleeves end at your wrist bone and you can zip it over a sweater. Leather relaxes a little with wear, so a snug fit on day one is normal. Our leather jacket size guide shows the chest chart.
Which size should I order?
Measure your chest at the fullest point and compare it with the size guide or the fit finder on the home page. If you sit between two sizes, go larger when you plan to wear a thick layer underneath and smaller for a closer fit.
Do you make custom sizes?
Yes. Every jacket is made to order, so you can send your chest, shoulder and sleeve measurements through the enquiry form or WhatsApp, and we will confirm the options by email. Standard sizes run from XS to 3XL.

Materials and Care
Lambskin or cowhide?
Lambskin is soft, light and drapes well. Cowhide is heavier and stiffer and takes longer to break in, but it is tougher. Shearling jackets use sheepskin with the wool left on the inside for warmth.
How can I tell real leather from faux?
Real hide has an uneven grain and small natural marks. It smells like leather, and the raw edge shows fibres. Faux leather has a repeating pattern and a smooth plastic edge.
How do I look after my jacket?
Hang it on a wide hanger away from heat and sunlight, wipe it with a soft damp cloth and condition leather once or twice a year. Keep shearling dry, let it air dry slowly if it gets wet and use a specialist cleaner for a full clean.
Look Alike Designs
Are the celebrity and movie jackets official?
No. Jackets in our celebrity leather jackets and Halloween costume jackets ranges are independent look alike designs made by us. They are not official merchandise and are not made or endorsed by anyone named.
Can I order a jacket in a different colour?
Each listing shows the colour in the photos. If you want to ask about another colour, send us an enquiry and we will tell you what is possible.
