Women Oversized Leather Jackets
An oversized black leather jacket is cut wide through the body and shoulder, with sleeves long enough to push up, so it goes over a hoodie or a thick sweater without pulling anywhere. Some of these women’s oversized leather jackets are bombers, gathered at the cuff or the hem. The oversized red leather jacket is one, in a heavy pebbled grain with a stand collar, raglan sleeves and elastic at the cuffs and hem. Some are boxy and cropped instead, cut short and square through the body.
The room is in the pattern, not the size label. A big black leather jacket only works when the shoulder seam sits past your own, the body hangs straight, and the sleeve stays full to the cuff. The black lambskin jacket with wide, open sleeves shows it plainly: a tall stand collar, a straight center zip, two zipped side pockets.
For something shorter than the rest, the cropped motorcycle jacket ends in a belted hem above the waist, with nothing else scaled down.
Bombers, boxy jackets and cropped shapes
A bomber holds its volume over the hips by gathering the hem. The black funnel-neck bomber works that way, grained, with a zip front and an elastic-gathered hem. The burgundy vegan leather bomber takes it furthest, the hem drawn in until the body rounds into a bubble above it. Cropped shapes go wide and short at once, like the boxy black jacket with notched lapels, with an asymmetric front and a belt at the hem.
The leathers and how they wear
Lambskin is softest and falls close to the body, so a wide cut in it reads relaxed, not stiff. Pebbled and grained leather stands away from you, which is what gives the red one its fullness. Shearling is warmest: the black aviator lined in ivory shearling has wide shearling lapels and a buckled collar strap.
Sizing oversized leather jackets for women
Where the room is drawn into the pattern, take your usual size; going up only drops the shoulder seam too far. Check the size guide for the shorter, squarer shapes. Made to measure is free: send your own measurements at checkout and the jacket is cut to them. A jacket cut to your own measurements is not returnable unless it arrives damaged.
How they are made
Nothing is cut until the order is in. Yours is made to order, stitched by hand over five to seven days, with YKK zips wherever there is a zip. Shipping is free worldwide, and a standard size can go back within 30 days.
If oversized is more than you want
For the same wide shoulder on a shorter body, see women’s cropped leather jackets. Zip-front, elastic-hem shapes sit together in women’s bomber leather jackets. The full range is under women’s leather jackets.
