Custom sizing sounds complicated. Blogs and forums make it look like you need a degree in fashion design just to take a few measurements. In reality, you only need two things: a flexible tailor’s measuring tape and a couple of minutes. That’s it. No drama, no difficulty.
Once you know how easy it is, you realise something important—custom leather clothing fits better than any standard size ever could. And for gear that’s meant to sit close to the body, from leather pants men love wearing to mens leather shirts, that difference is everything.
Custom sizing isn’t a luxury. It’s the foundation of leather gear that looks sharp, feels powerful, and moves with you.
At Leather Gear, every single product—from leather shirts for men to gay leather pants—can be made in custom sizing at no additional cost, and shipped worldwide for free. That alone puts you a tier above most brands offering only fixed sizes.
Let’s break down why custom leather clothing matters, how simple the process actually is, and what you need to know before ordering your made-to-measure gear.
Why Custom Leather Clothing Is Better Than Standard Sizing
Standard sizing is built around averages, and the truth is that very few people have an “average” body. Some guys have broader shoulders. Some have thicker thighs. Some have a smaller waist and bigger hips. Some simply don’t fit neatly into S, M, L boxes.
Leather is a material of precision—it looks best when it fits like it was made for you.
Here’s why custom sizing wins every time:
-
It follows your real body shape.
Your waist, hips, chest, belly, biceps, shoulders, thighs—every area gets measured accurately, so your piece sits exactly where it should. -
Leather molds and evolves with your body.
A snug, correct starting fit lets the leather break in naturally. That “second-skin” effect you see in gay leather outfits? It begins with custom measurements. -
Better comfort and movement.
Walking, riding, dancing, lifting—custom gear doesn’t pull or sag. Whether you’re in black leather clothes or leather cargo shorts, everything feels secure and balanced. -
Cleaner lines, sharper silhouette.
A black leather mens jacket or genuine leather shirt looks ten times better when the pattern is drafted around your exact proportions.
If you’re serious about leather gear for men, custom sizing isn’t optional—it’s the upgrade that changes everything.

We create a fresh pattern for your body
This is the craftsman part.
Unlike resellers who “adjust” a stock pattern, we draft a brand-new pattern for every custom order. That’s why our custom processing time is around 2 weeks, instead of the standard 5–7 business days.
Fresh pattern = perfect fit.
-
Everything is handcrafted in-house
Nothing is outsourced. Nothing is mass-produced.
Every custom leather jacket, personalized leather jacket, custom leather shirt, custom leather pants, and made to measure leather gear is built in our own workshop.
That’s why customers trust us.
What You Can Customize (Short Answer: Everything)
Most brands limit customization to size.
We don’t.
You can customize:
- Fit (your measurements, your proportions)
- Design (pockets, zippers, length, tapering, rise height)
- Leather Type (Cowhide, Sheep, Goat, Buffalo)
- Color (with slight variations possible due to screen differences)

Send sketches, photos, references—we build it.
Whether it’s gay leather shorts, a tailor made leather jacket, black leather for men, or a unique leather uniform piece, we make it.
How to Take Accurate Measurements
This is where people overthink things. The truth? It’s easy.
Follow these rules:
-
Measure on bare skin
Thick clothes add false inches. -
Keep the tape snug (not loose)
Leather stretches with wear, so a tight measurement leads to a perfect long-term fit. -
Use a flexible tailor’s tape
Rigid tape measures ruin accuracy. -
Ask someone to help
Self-measurements can be off by 1–3 cm. -
Follow the diagrams
Our Sizing Chart shows exactly where the tape should go.
A few minutes now saves you from alterations later—and gives you gear that fits like a dream.
Do Custom Orders Have Limits?
Not really.
We usually say yes to everything.
But—you also get honest guidance.
If a design won’t look good, won’t sit correctly, or isn’t functional, we tell you upfront. If a certain leather type or color isn’t available, we say so before we begin.
Transparency builds trust. Customization builds confidence.
