Hey! They are nice jackets, definitely a good call to grab one beforehand (didn’t know they were being discontinued though!).

Sizing, my XS fits kinda snug (can only wear with a t-shirt / slim jumper or knit and I’m around a 36 chest, so based on that I think an M should be ok! (tall should be good too, I’m 5 9 and the standard fits me just right).

Hope this helps!

Mine naturally sit that way over time, initially they did fold forward. Try laying them flat with something heavy on them for a while?

It is me wearing the jacket in the photos… 🙂

Hi Julien,

You have similar sizes and weight to me (perhaps I am just slightly taller) and I wear an XS for a nice fitted look, so I would recommend the XS.
The sleeves are also more or less perfect for me, sitting on the wrists, I think an S would then make the sleeves a touch too long.

Hope that helps!

Which suggest for a 170-172 cm , 75kg XS or S ?
My chest beetwen 92-94cm. I like the perfect fit, i dont like the too long sleeve.

Thank You!

Hey Max, I do like the Alexander model as well, but I do think the Kay Michaels just beats it with its classic style!

In terms of sizing, my Boda is very snug and I did pick the smallest size for me (XS) and it was definitely the right choice, plus when it stretches (as leather inevitably will) then it will ensure it still looks good.

When it comes to zipping the jacket, I could do it up, but only just about and it would not look very attractive! So for me, I always wear it open, besides it enables people to see my layers.

To be honest, I don’t wear my Boda that regularly, although I have worn it many times since its purchase. I do try and avoid wearing it in the rain, especially heavy rain just to be on the safe side!

thanks for your response. Yes I like your blog about this amazing leather jacket – the best style I ever have seen!!
Very nice to read that you also combine your Boda with skinny Jeans and chelsa boots or low top sneakers – it looks really amazing good and I love this style!!

So I’m really thinking to purchase the Kay Michaels – or the The Alexander model, which is very similar.
There is just The Alexander model in summer sale with 20% Discount.
What do you think about The Alexander model? Do you also like it?

What do you think about sizing?
In my opinion the best fit for a Boda schould be very slim fit as a 2nd skin – this looks really good.
My normal size is L – so I should also order size L?

I agree with you that the best look is to wear the Boda open – but for more cold weather conditions it should be possible for me fully to zip up the jacket – I hope this will be possible at least using the 2nd zip.

How often do you wear your Boda? Do you use the Boda as “every days” jacket also at worse weather conditions and do you have experience with rainy weather conditions? Do you think the leather will be affected by becomig wet? So is it robust or rather sensitive?
This would be important for me because I like to wear my leather jacket at any weather.
