Size Guide

Use this guide as a starting point for QUIVE London footwear and leather jackets. Fit can vary by design, material and the layers you plan to wear, so always review the individual product information before ordering.

Men’s Footwear Sizing

QUIVE London footwear is listed in UK sizing unless the individual product page states otherwise. Begin with the UK size you normally wear in men’s formal footwear, then use the fit checks below.

How to measure your feet

  1. Place a sheet of paper on a hard, flat floor with one edge against a wall.
  2. Stand on the paper with your heel lightly touching the wall. Measure while standing so your foot carries weight naturally.
  3. Mark the point where your longest toe ends.
  4. Measure from the wall edge of the paper to the mark.
  5. Repeat for the other foot, because one can be slightly larger.
  6. Use the larger measurement when discussing your size with Customer Care.

Check shoe fit and comfort

  • Your heel should feel secure without severe slipping.
  • Your toes should have room to sit naturally without pressing against the front or sides.
  • The widest part of your foot should align comfortably with the widest part of the shoe.
  • Leather footwear may feel structured when new, but do not rely on stretching to correct painful pressure.

Try footwear indoors on a clean, soft surface while you decide whether the fit is right. Wear the type of socks you expect to use with that style.

Men’s Leather Jacket Sizing

Leather jacket fit depends on the silhouette. A biker jacket may be closer and more structured; an overshirt or utility style may allow easier layering. Choose for the clothes you will genuinely wear underneath rather than the size label alone.

Measure your chest

  1. Wear a light layer and stand naturally without holding your breath.
  2. Run a soft measuring tape around the fullest part of your chest and under your arms.
  3. Keep the tape level across your back and comfortably close without pulling it tight.
  4. Record the result and repeat once to confirm it.

Compare a jacket you already own

Choose a non-stretch jacket that fits the way you want your new one to fit. Fasten it, lay it flat without pulling the fabric and record:

  • Chest width: straight across from armpit to armpit.
  • Shoulder width: from one shoulder seam to the other across the back.
  • Sleeve length: from the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff.
  • Back length: from the base of the collar to the hem.

These garment measurements are not the same as body measurements, because every jacket includes a different amount of ease. They are most useful when supplied to Customer Care alongside your chest measurement, usual UK jacket size and preferred layer.

Leather jacket fit checks

  • Shoulders: the seam should sit close to your natural shoulder rather than falling down the upper arm or pulling upward.
  • Chest: the jacket should fasten without strong horizontal pulling, while avoiding excessive loose material.
  • Sleeves: the cuff should cover the wrist without swallowing the hand.
  • Movement: reach forward, bend your arms and sit down. The jacket should allow normal movement from the start.
  • Layering: repeat the checks over the knitwear or shirt weight you plan to wear most often.
