Editor’s Tip

Let the waistline lead. Tuck in fine-gauge knits or silk camisoles to showcase the rise; add a cropped jacket to keep proportions sharp.

Ready for a waist you’ll actually want to highlight?

Modern vs. Dated Silhouettes

  • Modern: Clean waistband, minimal hardware, matte or softly lustrous finishes, precise hem length (mid-thigh to just above).
  • Avoid: Overly low rises, bulky pleats, heavy embellishment that interrupts the waistline.

Fit & Proportion: Petite, Tall, Curvy

  • Petite: Opt for a slightly shorter inseam; keep tops cropped or tucked.
  • Tall: Add length in the inseam and choose a true high rise to balance leg length.
  • Curvy: Request waist-hip shaping in your measurements; gentle A-line hems flatter without clinging.

Care & Longevity

  • Wipe with a soft cloth; let dry naturally away from heat.
  • Condition occasionally to preserve softness and drape.
  • Store on clip hangers or flat in breathable covers.

Why Bespoke Beats Off-the-Rack

Ready-made shorts rarely honor your exact waist-hip proportion—leading to gaping, pulling, or compromise. Our made-to-measure approach delivers a flawless rise, a clean waist, and confident movement. Every order includes our Perfect Fit Guarantee and ships with your personalized Original Leather Certificate.

Quick answers

  • How should a leather jacket or dress fit?
    It should be snug but not tight, with room to move. Leather will ease slightly with wear.
  • Do you offer custom sizing (petite, tall, plus)?
    Yes. We provide custom measurements for the best fit, tailored to your body.
  • How do I take measurements at home?
    Use a soft tape. Measure bust, waist, hips, shoulders, sleeves, and length—relaxed, not tight. Always measure twice.
  • How do I clean leather clothing?
    Wipe gently with a damp cloth, condition seasonally, and use professional leather cleaners for stains.
