Finding plus size leather jackets that fit properly is harder than it should be. Plenty of brands stop at XL or 2XL, and the ones that go further often just scale up a straight-size pattern, which leaves you with sleeves that are too long and a body that pulls across the bust. At Jackets Kingdom, most of our plus size leather jackets are listed in sizes up to 4XL or 5XL, and many also offer a Custom size option, so you can order a jacket cut to your own measurements.
Below are seven real-leather picks from our women's range, each chosen because it comes in extended sizes and has a cut that works on a fuller figure. We have also included a practical guide to measuring, choosing a silhouette, and avoiding the fit mistakes that send most online orders back.

Our Picks: Plus Size Leather Jackets for Women
1. Women's Black Lambskin Biker Style Jacket
If you want one leather jacket that goes with everything, start here. It is made from genuine lambskin, which is soft and flexible from day one, so it moves with you instead of feeling stiff across the shoulders and arms. The zip front and viscose lining make it easy to layer over a knit or a tee, and it is offered in sizes XS to 5XL. It is also the most affordable pick on this list, from $189.99.

2. Women's White Leather Biker Jacket
White leather is a confident choice, and it works especially well in spring and early fall when you want something lighter than black. This jacket is cut from genuine sheepskin with a smooth viscose lining, an asymmetrical front zip and a notch collar. Wearing the zip open creates a long vertical line down the front, which is a flattering trick on any body. Sizes run S to 5XL, from $239.99.

3. Women's Black Quilted Leather Bomber Jacket
A bomber is one of the easiest leather styles to wear if you are curvy, because the gathered hem marks your waist or hip without clinging. The quilting adds texture and a little extra warmth, making this a good choice for cooler months. It comes in sizes XS to 4XL and is priced from $259. Choose your normal size if you plan to wear it over a light top, or go up one if you want room for a sweater.

4. Women's Red Lambskin Leather Jacket
Plus size fashion has spent too long pushing women toward black. If you want color, this red lambskin jacket has a retro slim-fit shape and a soft hand feel that looks great with denim or a black dress. It is listed in XS to 5XL, plus a Custom option for anyone between sizes, from $249.99. Browse more options in our women's red leather jackets collection.

5. Women's Black Suede Western Trucker Jacket
For a more relaxed look, a trucker jacket gives you a straighter, less fitted body than a biker. This one is made from top grain suede in a cropped cut that pairs well with high-waisted jeans, midi dresses and boots. The cropped length is worth noting: it sits above the hip, so it works best if you like to show your waist. Sizes run XS to 5XL plus Custom, from $229.99.

6. Women Red and Black Lambskin Leather Biker Jacket
This color-block moto jacket has a stand collar with a snap, a clean front zip and a slim-fit shape. The darker panels help break up the body visually, which many women find flattering. It is offered in XS to 5XL plus Custom, from $260. If you like the moto look but want more choice, see our women's leather motorcycle jackets.

7. Women's Black Leather Jacket with Fur Collar
When the temperature drops, this is the warmer pick. It pairs a slim-fit moto body in real leather with a plush fur collar that frames the face and keeps wind off your neck. It comes in XS to 4XL plus Custom, from $259.99. For colder winters, you may also want to look at our women's shearling jackets.

How to Choose a Plus Size Leather Jacket
Measure, do not guess
Leather has very little stretch, so the size chart matters more than it does for knitwear. Measure around the fullest part of your bust, your natural waist, and your hips, then measure your arm from the shoulder seam to the wrist bone. Compare all four numbers with the product's size chart. If your bust puts you in one size and your hips in another, size for the bust on a cropped or biker style, and size for the hips on anything that falls below the hip.
Pick a silhouette that suits your shape
Biker and moto jackets with an asymmetrical zip create a diagonal line that draws the eye inward. Bombers mark the waist or hip with a ribbed hem. Truckers sit straighter and shorter. Longer cuts, like a leather blazer or a trench, skim over the hips and give a longer line. There is no wrong choice, only the one that matches how you like to dress.
Choose the right leather
Lambskin is the softest and most supple, which makes it comfortable from the first wear and kind to anyone who dislikes stiff jackets. Sheepskin is similar in feel and slightly sturdier. Suede has a matte, brushed finish that looks relaxed but needs more care in rain. Cowhide is heavier and tougher, which suits riders but takes longer to break in.
Think about lining and climate
A viscose or polyester lining makes a jacket easy to slide on over sleeves and suits mild weather. If you live somewhere with real winters, look for quilting, a fur collar, or a shearling style, and size up if you plan to wear a thick sweater underneath.
Common fit mistakes to avoid
- Sizing up two sizes to fit the bust, then ending up with sleeves that cover your hands.
- Ignoring shoulder width. The shoulder seam should sit at the edge of your shoulder, not halfway down your arm.
- Buying a jacket you can only wear unzipped. You should be able to zip it over a thin layer and still lift your arms.
If your measurements fall between sizes, or you need different proportions such as a longer body or shorter sleeves, a Custom size or a made-to-measure order is usually the better route than forcing a standard size to work.
Frequently Asked Questions
What sizes do your women's leather jackets come in?
It depends on the style, but most jackets in our women's range are listed from XS up to 4XL or 5XL. Many also have a Custom size option. Check the size selector on each product page for the exact range.
Should I size up in a leather jacket?
Not automatically. Leather softens and shapes to you over time, but it does not stretch much in length or across the shoulders. Size up only if your measurements call for it or you plan to wear thick layers underneath.
Can I get a leather jacket made to my measurements?
Yes. Our custom and made-to-measure service includes a free quote and mockup and one free alteration. You can choose from lambskin, sheepskin, goatskin, cowhide or buffalo hide. Start on our custom leather jackets page.
Which leather jacket style is most flattering for plus size women?
Many women find an asymmetrical biker or a bomber with a defined hem the most flattering, but it comes down to your shape and taste. Focus on a good fit at the shoulders and bust first; the style comes second.
Do you ship to the US?
Yes. We offer free worldwide shipping by DHL, FedEx or TNT. Any import duties are paid by the customer.
Find Your Fit
A plus size leather jacket should fit your shoulders, close comfortably over your bust, and let you move without pulling. Measure first, choose a cut that matches your style, and use the Custom size option when standard sizing does not fit you well.
