First Manufacturing sizing & how to measure
Measure yourself once, then match it to First Manufacturing's chart on any product page. Here is exactly what to measure for each kind of First Manufacturing gear.
Chest
Measure around the fullest part of your chest, under the armpits, keeping the measuring tape parallel to the ground.
Waist
Measure around your natural waistline, around the top of the hip bones, inline with the navel while keeping the measuring tape parallel to the ground.
Arm (Shoulder to Wrist)
Standing up straight with your arms at your sides, measure from the Acromion or summit of your shoulder, down to your wrist bone, along the outside of the arm.
Waist
Measure around your natural waistline, around the top of the hip bones, inline with the navel while keeping the measuring tape parallel to the ground.
Hand Circumference
Wrap a cloth measuring tape around your hand behind the knuckles, not including the thumb, keeping the tape snug. Measure both left and right hands and use the larger of the two measurements.
How First Manufacturing fits women, from real riders
Shop First Manufacturing gearWhat riders praise
- Side pleats help the leather conform to a range of body shapes rather than just scaling up
- Supple leather is non-restricting from the first wear
- Integrated CCW pocket for riders who carry
- Soft lightweight leather comfortable for warm-weather cruising on and off the bike
- True to size with a classic leather fit that breaks in over time
- Good coverage and comfortable fit from petite to larger builds
Watch-outs
- Runs slightly small across all reviewers, size up at least one from your normal size
- Level 2 armor inserts are sold separately and can be hard to find in stock
- Runs small — size up one from your usual
- Tight across the back initially — expect a break-in period for the leather to form to your shape
- Cut straight rather than tapered — won't flatter or fit curvy builds through the waist
- Armor pads make it feel one size smaller — size up if planning to use all armor pockets
