Sizing Guide
Below is the sizing guide. I've done this a little different to how most sizing guides are done. Instead of giving a sizing like 32, 34, 36, etc I have given the actual size of the jacket so you can pick the one that best suits you.
The main measurement is the chest measurement.
1) You want to take your own chest measurement (under the armpits at the widest part)
2) Then add a minimumof 14cm to that measurement then choose from the below table. If you want a more relaxed fit or you typically ride with more layers underneath add another 2-4cm then choose from the below.
If you would like another specific measurement just let me know (eg biceps) and I can measure it for you, no dramas! If you would like help with sizing email or message on Facebook and I can help. I can also potentially get bigger and smaller sizes in if yours isn't here.
If the way I've done this size guide is confusing as hell and I should do it like everyone let me know and I'll do that.
I totally get buying a jacket or glove online can involve a bit of risk when it comes to sizing etc so I am more than happy to do a size swap or return if you want (provided it's still in the same condition it got sent to you in).

Backstory
Black Pup Moto was born because I could never find quite what I wanted. I wanted gear that matched the more classic/cafe racer style of bikes I liked.
I wanted Real high-grade leather without too much branding on the outside and without plastic-y add ons and so the 'ol Bobber' was designed and tested right here in Australia.
Created to suit classic, cafe racer, bobber or whatever you wish! Well suited to Triumph, Royal Enfield, Harley Davidson etc.
If you're wondering where the name Black Pup comes from I've always had black labradors and my first one was called Bob.
Distressed Brown Leather Jacket
This one has been a long time coming, but I'm glad it has! I am really happy with the end result. You asked for a Classic Distressed Brown Motorcycle Leather Jacket and here it is!
Introducing the 'ol Bobber' leather racer jacket.
Made from premium cowhide leather in a unique Distressed 'Charcoal Brown' finish, this jacket will look perfectly at home on any Classic, Cafe Racer or Cruiser.
In summer my go to is to take the liner out and pair it with the Brown Thumpas.

The fit is pretty much perfect. Your sizing method just works.
The warm winter liner does make it perhaps ever so slightly “snug” (no draughts!) when worn with a polo shirt and thin fleece but it’s still very comfortable - and it’s not even yet "worn in” or slightly stretched (as all leather jackets do over time).
Without the warm liner (it’s 21ºC here today so it’s not at all needed) it’s absolutely perfect for me, and I love all the cooling vents and the wrist pocket.
I will take it for a blatt down some of our country lanes later this evening.
The quality is really excellent and the distressed look means its doesn’t look too new either - a bonus.
There has obviously been a lot of thought put into every aspect of the jacket design by you - and it really shows.
The back and arm length is superb, and I’m definitely not likely to “moon” anyone with my "builders bum…” - thankfully. Just right.
The soft collar to stop “leather chafe” at the neck is just one of many outstanding features, with the armour being effective but not bulky (in exactly the right place too) as another.
Sleeve fitment is very good for me indeed, and the pleats in the shoulder really work with my arms/chest size.
Quality zips and a tough big inner pocket all add to that high quality feel throughout.
The handy sleeve pocket is ideal for toll bridge change or even a contactless card - I checked - contactless works without opening the zip!🤦♂️
Out of 10 - this jacket has scored a solid 12!
I can certainly see why your products have such a fantastic reputation.
My new favourite jacket! I've wanted a classic styled leather motorcycle jacket forever and have never found one that looks just right at a reasonable price, until I found the Ol' Bobber. Perfect fit, supple and super comfortable, beautiful craftsmanship from a local. Love it! Will be back!
Excellent jacket, great fit and features. Slightly stiff but working softer as I wear more. Quilted lining is excellent as the temp has dropped.
M size for 102 cm chest
I purchased the ‘ol Bobber jacket in size M
Great fit, shape and quality finish.
Very impressed with the service.
The customer service was great from initial questions about colour and size to speedy delivery.
Really appreciate the help from Richard.
Great to see a reliable and professional Aussie business
Thanks Brad
Bought this jacket 3 years ago now, and still going strong, especially after being caught out in the rain on numerous occasions without wet weather gear. The winter lining is perfect for the cold mornings.
The extended back also makes sure there isn't any butt cracks showing while riding which is a fantastic little feature.
What can I say about Richard and his company Black Pup Moto in Melbourne! Total professionals and 1st rate customer service. From the moment I saw this jacket online I knew this was the one after doing a lot of online research this jacket and price point hit the nail on the proverbial g-spot.
This leather bobber style motorcycle jacket is an absolute showstopper...it delivers the perfect blend of badassery and suave sophistication. True to their sizing guide...finding the right fit feels like destiny...ensuring you'll look and feel like "The Dude" on the road.
The jacket appears to be crafted from top-notch quality leather...this jacket is not only durable but also screams premium luxury. But...let's talk about styling...it's seriously off the charts...and thats no hyperbole! From the sleek dark warm brown colouring to the edgy detailing...this jacket is a surefire way to turn heads wherever you go.
I guarantee you won't be disappointed!
Richard was helpful with sizing as i was a bit worried I was between sizes. The jacket arrived quickly and well packaged. Fits perfect, only a little tight in the lats when stretching/lifting arms upwards. Fine when reaching bars. It's leather, so will loosen up and give nicely over time. Only used it a couple of times and can tell it's going to be an absolute ripper - love it!
Only gone out a couple times with the ol’ bobber jacket but loving it already! Very happy with the quality for price ratio, and the key pocket feature.
Thanks Black pup.
Max.
Had been looking for a jacket for a while, most others came without armour and Kevlar, these come packeted with the lot and look great, and feel even better. I am really happy with mine.
Fits perfectly thanks to the ability to try one on before purchase in Perth.
Looks and feels very well made, love the style and colour and appreciate the brand name is not prominent like a lot of the mass produced products.
Appreciated the added bonus of the key ring that now holds my bike key
Well Richard. Two weeks into riding with the new jacket and all I can say is “I love it”
The feel, comfort and protection, its perfect.
I was a little apprehensive buying something like this online but Richard was super helpful and extremely quick to reply on email. The jacket was everything promised and I can’t recommend Black Pup Moto enough. It was also on my doorstep (interstate) within 24hrs! Amazing! Cheers Jeff.
I love this jacket, it fits and feels great, the distressed look is perfect.
Thanks for going to the trouble to produce something that is not run of the mill and covered in advertising.
Beautiful craftsmanship and love all the extra pockets and air vents.
Don't think I've seen any other jacket include a key pocket in the sleeve which is super handy!
Inner winter layer is also super comfortable and very easy to install/remove when needed.
By far the best jacket I've owned. Well done to Black Pup!
Great jacket! I now have this and the perforated summer version. I went up a size in the winter version and that fits better with the liner and more clothing underneath. Both jackets are highly recommended!
Had to go up 2 sizes for the jacket but love the result. Combines well with the gloves for a classic look. Good quality leather and comfortable to wear.
Such a great jacket. This photo is post DGR 2021 and it poured down here in Perth. Jacket held up brilliantly and kept me warm with the inner liner on and just a shirt. 10/10
Love the jacket but did get cold feet in my sizing, fall in between sizes but settled comfortably on a medium size, great look, hats off to the craftsman..really pleased with my purchase & had some positive feedback on the look of the jacket, thankyou
Flawless order process. Had to change size and it all happened very quickly.
The jacket is very good quality. Heavy and strong. Beautiful leather. Armor is easy to remove/replace inside the jacket. Looks and feel great.
Incredible quality leather, extremely comfortable, all armour included, excellent sizing with a longer rear so it doesn’t ride up like others. I can’t rate it more highly.
It is an awesome jacket, it fits really well, the sizing was accurate and the service was excellent.
The jacket is extremely high quality and is beautifully made.
I would happily recommend this to anyone.
Absolutely love this jacket. Customer service is excellent, the jacket is top notch quality and the armour is better than big brand name armour I have in other jackets.
Great value too.
This jacket is so nice I don’t want to take it out of the cupboard. Looks, feels and smells incredible, super comfy and the long zips on the wrist are pretty good even for winter gauntlets. I’m 180cm 100kg and the 2xl fits like a dream.
100/10 would buy again but have a feeling I won’t need to for a very long time.
I recently bought this motorcycle leather jacket, and I’m really impressed. The leather feels premium—thick, durable, and built to last, yet it’s comfortable right out of the box. The stitching and zippers are solid, and the overall craftsmanship is top-notch.
It fits perfectly with just the right amount of flexibility for riding, and the ventilation keeps things comfortable even on longer trips. The armor inserts are well-placed and add a good sense of protection without making the jacket feel bulky.
Overall, this jacket combines great style, comfort, and safety. Definitely worth the investment for anyone serious about riding.
