A lot of the leather jackets I see getting a lot of love dont really have this type of silhouette, and when I try to find jackets like this they all end up being faux leather. Does anyone know where I can find a fit like this? I want to be able to layer hoodies underneat my jacket (extra chest and wider sleeves) while maintaining a cropped look (dont want the hem going below my hips).

In Eastern Europe in the 80s and 90s?
Sorry, don't mean to be rude, but this design has a real "80 year old Romanian man" vibe.

Can i ask what part of the world you are from?

If you were on my side of the pond I would send you along to Cromford Leather, specialists in made to measure hide garments. Have you searched in your area for someone who might help?
Made to measure is always assumed expensive but I have found that a skilled craftsperson can be good value. I have artisans who make most of what I wear from hats down to shoes. Good luck, I do hope that your search proves fruitful.

Im from the US. I also dont care what the design vibe is, thats not the question I asked lol.
I believe the point was that this may not be the best forum to ask on. The leather jackets discussed here tend to be based on vintage models. Styleforum may be a better place to ask

A US WINGS / modern cooper A2 either in your size or at most 1 size up should do fine.
It should have this oversized fit without the arms being too long or anything.
By the way, just how many hoodies do you plan to layer together under this jacket?

If you have a hoodie that fits you properly, you won't need a jacket so large like this that makes you look like a homeless drug addict.
You could find many many options in jackets that are in the realm of fitting.

I have a lot of heavyweight hoodies and it gets quite cold where I am so layering doesnt hurt. Also great jacket suggestion thank you.

Never seen anything quite like the ones in the photos OP posts....

For a quality leather with room for a hefty sweater, an Aero Highwayman would be my place to start. I suspect something like the jackets in the first two posts, if that specific style (rather than more generally room to layer) is desired would require looking into the sort of fashion forward brands of which I have no experience, however.

I echo what others have said - this style is reminiscent of 1990s culture. Watch an episode or two of Seinfeld and you will more than likely see Jerry sporting something that looks like this.

I would search eBay for Y2K leather jackets or Y2K bomber jackets. I did just that and the jacket in the photo was literally the first return. And the good news is that they are cheap - this one is $45.
