From my years of buying and wearing leather jacket, this isn't always true and almost always wrong. If it's lamb or sheep and quite thin, yes, it will stretch out and may fit comfortably down the line. However, it seems the CXL used here has a heavier weight (thicker). It will soften but it won't stretch that much. Get something that fits comfortably from the get go. Sure it can be close to the body but never tight.Well leather jackets should be tight from the start, when zipped up, almost form fitting. It will stretch out to your body as you wear it. If you get one too large, it simply won’t fit you in a few months of wear
Ok so we just had a big discussion... what was submitted and is on the website is correct.
What is happening here is the measurement is of the garment itself and thus includes the give assigned to the style of the jacket. So the
I am a 40.5 and an M fits me just fine.
My shirt size is a 16 collar and 41
The model in the picture is a size 40 and 6 ft 2.
I hope this helps, we are going to make it clearer that it is the garment details. Choose the piece true to your size...

As regards the cafe racer, I would like to ask you what's going to happen with the delivery. If I understand correctly, the jacket is crafted in and shipped from the UK, so there won't be any import duties. Is that correct? Still, even if it is, shall we have to subtract the British VAT and then pay that of the European country of destination, plus the administration fees?
The longer the sleeve is the more it will bunch, so this is somewhat of a style preference, but for 2 inches past your typical length I would likely do MTM to decrease by an inch. Without trying on the stock version it will always be a bit of a guessing game.Really interested to get the Horween Chromexcel Cafe Racer Jacket, but I worried the sleeve is a bit too long. It says Size S is 27in/67.5cm. My other leather jackets, Schott or other brand is usually 24in-25in. Do you guys think it will be a concern or the sleeve will shrink as the leather bunches around the elbow (in this case it has to shrink 2-3inch)?

85 GBP per Rohan aboveThanks. Good advice. Wonder how much extra it cost to do MTM?
