How to measure a motorcycle jacket

15/06/2021

How to measure a motorcycle jacket
It is iconic, coveted and a second skin for bikers all over the world: we are talking about the motorcycle jacket, a symbol of rebellion and bad boys and girls from all over the world, especially in the most sought-after version, in black leather.
 
But, given the apt definition of "second skin", this particular garment must fit your person perfectly, and guarantee you safety and protection from the unexpected that you may encounter on the road!
 

Between History and Cinema

Timeless, even placed among the haute couture garments, it was born as a jacket for cars and motorcycles, but was also supplied to aviation in the twenties of the twentieth century: a creation resulting from some natural "enemies" of the pilot, such as speed, altitude, and freezing winds, leather was used as the final solution, as this material is very resistant to wind and other bad weather.
 
What, however, made the diffusion of the leather motorcycle jacket global, was the very important imprint of Movies: in fact, there are many films in which the protagonist wears it, like Marlon Brando in “The Wild One ”, Brad Pitt in“ Fight Club ”or the beloved John Travolta in
Grease ”, in which the leather jacket becomes more than a symbol of belonging, an icon of freedom!
 

Quality measures

A motorcycle leather jacket, therefore, is tempting to everyone! But whether it's this one or a jacket in any other material, this garment must fit you perfectly and be comfortable to wear at any time, while driving: to make this happen, you need to know how to measure for your future motorcycle jacket!
 
It's much simpler than you think: just take a tape measure and measure the circumference of your chest first, and then the length of the sleeve from the shoulder to the wrist. After that, you can consult the various tables to compare online or, as we always recommend, rely on your dealer, who will surely know how to help you.
