Womens Plus Size Faux Leather Moto Biker Zip Up Hoodie Jacket
Plus size on this jacket means genuinely re-drafted rather than scaled up, which is worth explaining because most of the market does the latter. It is a faux leather moto jacket — a coated fabric shell rather than hide — with a zip front and a hood, made to order in every size up to 5XL and beyond that on custom measurements.

Why scaling up a pattern does not work
Most plus size clothing is graded — the standard pattern is enlarged by a fixed percentage across every measurement. That fails because bodies do not scale uniformly. Chest and hip grow faster than shoulder width and arm length, so a graded jacket ends up with shoulders that sit too wide, sleeves that run long, and armholes that drop too low and restrict movement.
On this pattern the shoulder, armhole and sleeve are drafted separately from the body measurements rather than scaled with them, which is what makes a jacket sit rather than hang.
Made to order is the real advantage
Since nothing is cut until you order, size labels matter less than measurements. If your chest and waist sit at different points on a size chart — which is extremely common and is what makes buying off the peg frustrating — send both figures and we cut to them at no extra charge.
The same applies past 5XL. Message us before ordering and we will confirm what is possible.
Faux leather, said plainly
The shell is a coated fabric, not animal hide. It will not develop a patina, will not soften over years, and will not last as long as real leather — a coating cracks at high-flex points rather than wearing thin.
What it gives you is light weight, a wipe-clean surface, uniform colour and no animal hide. For real leather in plus sizing, our Women Leather Jackets range is also made to order to 5XL.
The hood
Soft fabric rather than coated shell, because a coated hood is stiff, will not fold flat between the shoulders and is unpleasant against the head. It is stitched in rather than removable.
Care
Heat destroys a coated finish. Keep it away from radiators, never tumble dry, never iron — a hot iron melts the coating on contact. Wipe with a damp cloth rather than soaking it.
Fit and styling
Faux leather has slightly more give than hide, so sizing is a little more forgiving. Take your normal size over a tee or thin knit, and size up if you want a jumper underneath — remembering that a hood plus a hooded top takes up space at the neck.
Jeans, trainers, a plain top. See our Women Bomber Leather Jackets for a looser shape, or Women Leather Shirts to wear underneath.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this just a standard jacket in a bigger size?
No. The shoulder, armhole and sleeve are drafted separately rather than scaled with the body, which is what stops a plus size jacket hanging badly.
What if my chest and waist are different sizes on the chart?
Send both measurements after checkout and we cut to them at no extra charge. That is the main advantage of made to order.
Do you make above 5XL?
Message us before ordering and we will confirm what is possible on custom measurements.
Is this real leather?
No. The shell is faux leather — a coated fabric with no animal hide.
Does the hood come off?
No, it is stitched in.
How do I care for it?
Wipe with a damp cloth. Never machine wash, tumble dry or iron — heat melts a coated finish permanently.
Is real leather available in the same sizes?
Yes. Our real leather jackets are made to order in the same size range, including free custom measurements.
