Built to Ride. Cut to Move.

We don’t follow fashion trends. We follow function.
We follow code — the kind that gets earned, not handed. Read The Ten Stitch Commandments →

Below, you'll find our fit instructions, sizing tips, and deep-dive resources on how Crank & Stroker gear is made to move.

Every Crank & Stroker garment is cut with the rider in mind — engineered to fit the body in motion, not just standing still. That means our vests are cut to the proper length, with coverage in the back that keeps you protected when you're in the saddle. Hands go forward, gear rises — unless it’s built right. Ours are.

Jacket sleeves? Same story.
We cut our sleeves to the proper riding length — slightly extended so when you're in the riding position, your wrists stay covered. No short cuffs. No wind up your arm. Just the fit you need, where you need it.


IMPORTANT:
Our gear is cut to U.S. military and classic tailoring standards based on average U.S. body measurements — no vanity sizing, no fluff. You must measure your chest.

If you don’t have a cloth or plastic tape measure, use a string. Wrap it around the widest part of your chest — typically 1" above the nipples — arms relaxed at your sides. The string should be snug but not tight. Then measure the string and check your size on the chart below.

Jackets: Order by your actual chest size. If you plan to bulk layer underneath, go up one size.

Talls: Required if you’re 6'4" or taller. Bigs and Talls are special order only.

⚙️ Behind the Stitch

Real gear deserves real design. Below are breakdowns of the technical decisions behind our patterns, materials, and why we build it this way — on or off the bike.

📏 Why You Cut Me Short

Most brands butcher tall sizing. We don’t. This breakdown shows why length matters — and how we keep tall guys covered without the clown look.
