Can You Resize A Leather Jacket?
Yes, it can be tailored to fit if it's leather. The downside is it will be costly to do so. Since it is lined, and the leather is very hard to work with. Find a tailor shop near you, and call them. Tell them you have a leather jacket that needs resized and get an estimate over the phone of how much it will cost. If the tailor shop for some reason can't do it, call a shoe repair place. They have heavy duty sewing machines that are made to work with leather. Ask them if they can do it.
Are bomber/leather jackers suppose to be a tight fit?
I bought an MA-1 Bomber and the fit was fine apparently its suppose to be tight fitted, I got a medium tall size but I feel the the back length is few mm too short, so Im wondering if these jackets are suppose to fit this way or maybe I got the wrong size. I mean it fits fine on the arms, chests and everywhere else but its just the back some reason thats a tiny bit too short, maybe Im just fussing over it. Will it eventually be stretched into the shaped on my back?
When you buy a jacket, should you buy it in a larger size?
Depends on how you want it to fit. The style with some jackets is to fit short and tight..most women's styles anyway. Remember when buying a jacket you wear it over other clothes. So buying a little larger can't hurt either.
I am a crazy fan of leather jackets, but have failed to find the perfect fit for me. where can I find the best leather jackets online?
You don’t say if you are male or female nor do you say what type of jacket you are looking for and in what price range.If you actually are a crazy fan of leather jackets you would have connected with a leather shop that can custom tailor a jacket to you measurements.Even online.If you are a crazy fan of leather jackets you will have undoubtedly done your research and most likely joined a forum or two where leather jackets are discussed in detail.If you are a crazy fan of leather jackets you will know that you get what you pay for. There is a lot of dreck out there in the shops and online. Most of what is available is similar to mall brand jackets. Fashion styling, average to poor leather and average to poor construction.There is a reason that there are only a small number of companies that are making quality leather jackets.But if that is what you are looking for then there are tons of online jackets and some companies will also custom make for you.One of the answers suggests Independence Brothers. They are a company making custom leather jackets which are sewn off shore. Not a problem because they seem to have high standards for their workers. But for $300 you are getting an entry level jacket. If you are a first-timer buying a leather, give this a look. But they don’t compare to an outfit like Himel brothers doing RTW and custom leathers and following historical patterns and using top end Shinki horse leather to make a killer & bulletproof jacket. But one of theirs might cost you $2000 so comparing them is an apples to oranges deal.I am not a crazy fan of leather jackets but I do appreciate a quality leather jacket and I did my research and have a fairly solid knowledge of where to find what I am looking for.

Too pedestrian.I have had custom leather jackets made for me that fit from companies with quality leathers and impeccable workmanship.So do your homework and don’t use the term best leather jackets online unless you are willing to pay $700 and up for truely the best.
Can this jacket's sleeves be altered to be longer from a tailor or something?
Alterations are hard to find the exact leather material to make the sleeves LONGER. Sorry, no can do! Best way to buy leather jackets: Is to try them on in front of a full length mirror. A size medium for example is not one size fits all, the sleeves may be too long or the body may be too tight. When you put your elbows together, they should not fit tight on the shoulders. Nordstrom and Piperline they have FREE SHIPPING & FREE RETURNS. I just ordered 3 from Nordstrom, recently, and all THREE were returned, because the sleeves were too baggy or too long. one can't be altered because it had zipper on the sleeves. I just ordered 4 more from Piperline, waiting delivery on Wednesday, that's 3 days from when I ordered it. I found a turquoise leather jacket in a classic style once, and I called the seller FROM INDIA. I asked him, what is the sleeve length of their jackets. He got off the phone, but I could hear him talking Indian language. then came back to me: " long". "I mean, what is the length by inches." "I'm telling you, the neck is round, the sleeves are long, the body is wide." HUH? OK, I didn't order from them! What a joke! It was a beautiful jacket, too, but they said they will custom make me one, but I have no idea what he was babbling about!

Should I Be Able To Zip Up My Leather Jacket?
I NEVER zip my leather jacket! The best answer for buying leather jackets or ANY jackets is from trying them on in front of a full-length mirror. Some jackets have longer sleeves, and others are fitted and even I who wear medium all the way, some brands are larger or smaller on me. I'm a woman, and it's even harder for guys! You should be able to zip them up, and put your elbows together, that's how you can tell how they will fit comfortably on you.

My shoes fit, but they're a little tight around the toes. Should I move up a size?
You’ve got a lot of good responses here, but I just wanted to add another small point.I briefly worked in the shoe section of a department store…Generally you’ll find that a half size actually affects the width and not really the length. So best idea is to try a few different sizes and see which one feels best. You may well find that a little extra width makes the difference you need.If you get a shoe that is slightly too big, just pop in an inner-sole, it should help a little. And you could get a heel-grip which sticks onto the inside of the heel and stops the shoe from slipping up and down.There’s no point in worrying too much about what size you’re wearing, as long as it is comfortable. I’m a size 10 too but in some shoes I wear an 11. Just use the size you know as a basic guide to help you find the right fit/size in the particular shoe you are trying.Hope that helps you :)(By the way, if the shoe is touching your toenail and causing a bit of pressure, you need to try a bigger size, or that can become really painful. Most shoe fitters will try to get about a thumb’s width of space in front of the toe).
How do I get a more-defined jawline and cheekbones? What exercises help to build a more visible jawline and/or cheekbones, or is it just eating healthier in general?
Three things define a perfect jawlineA great v shaped jawDouble chinLess fat in cheeksGetting a v shaped jaw is entirely based on genetics, in order to get a chiseled jawline you ought to do some facial exercises, it's pretty easy though…Do these regularlyReduce your sodium intake first, I feel somewhat uncomfortable when I take salty foods, you can just feel in your muscles.Most men are mouth breathers, if you breathe in your mouth your jaw muscles becomes loose which won't give a perfect jawline. Your jaw muscles must be tight and strong to a obtain a shape so better close ur mouth and don't breath through mouth.The final thing is you have to work out and sweat to lose your cheek fat. Yeah it's necessary to maintain your body fat and avoid oily and fatty foods ( but take healthy fats since it helps to develop a manly body).Drink more water be hydrated enough, it not only helps your skin but it reduces the sodium content in your blood. Facial exercises :Rotate your jaw as far as possible, it streches your cheek muscles makes it tight.Smile, yeah it helps. Smile such that you show your entire teeth. ( do in bathroom because people may think you are crazy) do atleast 10 times in the morning.Try to touch your nose with your tongue ( sounds silly but it helps to elongate the lower jaw muscles and giving it an amazing shape)Chew gum regularlyThere are some other tips too ( these helps to look better even though you don't have a perfect jaw)1. Get a beard, not a long one.. It should be trimmed perfectly and it helps to make your face look longer.2. Add volume to your hair.. If you make your hair up straight.. It looks good even though you have round face cut.
