Choosing a women's leather jacket
Sheepskin is the usual choice for women's biker jackets because it is light, soft from the first wear and drapes close to the body. Cowhide is heavier, holds a sharper shape and is the better pick if you actually ride or want a jacket that reads as structured rather than fluid. Both are fully lined.
Cropped bikers end at the natural waist and pair with high-rise pants and skirts; standard length sits at the hip. Quilted shoulders, studs and embossed panels are style choices that do not change the fit. Belted hems give you an inch or two of waist adjustment.
Fit
Shoulder seams on the shoulder bone, sleeves to the wrist, and enough room to zip over a knit. Leather relaxes slightly with wear but does not stretch a size. If you are between sizes, choose the larger or send bust, waist, shoulder width and sleeve length for a custom cut.
Frequently asked questions
Which leather is best for a women's biker jacket?
Sheepskin if you want a soft, light jacket that drapes from the first wear; cowhide if you ride or want a structured, sharper shape. Each product page states the hide used and whether it is lined.
How should a biker jacket fit?
Shoulder seams on the shoulder bone, sleeves to the wrist bone, and room to zip over a knit. Leather relaxes a little with wear but does not stretch a size, so choose the larger size if you are between two, or order made to measure.
Can I order it in my own measurements?
Yes. Send your measurements through the custom order page; made-to-measure is available at no extra charge and you can also request a different color or leather type.
How long does it take to make and deliver?
Every piece is made after the order is placed. Production normally takes 14–15 working days, then it ships with a tracking number to the USA and worldwide.
What is the return policy?
Standard-size items can be returned within 15 days of delivery in unworn condition. Made-to-measure pieces are exchanged if they arrive damaged or incorrect. Full details are in our return policy.
How do I care for it?
Wipe with a soft dry cloth, keep it away from direct heat, hang it on a wide padded hanger and condition the hide two or three times a year. See the cowhide vs sheepskin guide.
