Bondage Gear for Every Body: Plus-Size and Inclusive Sizing

Short answer: plus-size bondage gear works when the maker publishes real measurement ranges and the straps adjust across them, so check the numbers, not the letter on the label. KBD's Half Jacket comes in Small and Medium and the Bondage Jacket in Medium and Large; compare your tape measure with our size guide, and if you sit above the largest size, strap-based pieces will fit you better than any jacket.

Key points

• Fit is about the chest, upper arm and sleeve length, plus how far the straps adjust.
• The Half Jacket comes in Small and Medium, the Bondage Jacket in Medium and Large. The size guide has the current measurements.
• Between sizes, choose the larger one. Straps tighten but cannot loosen past their limit.
• Kits and cuffs are more forgiving than jackets, because they adjust at the strap.
• A gear range that stops somewhere is honest. A range that claims to fit everyone usually does not.

Do bondage jackets fit larger bodies?

Some do and some do not, and the deciding factor is the published chest and arm range, not the marketing. A jacket fits a larger body when its garment measurements are larger and its straps adjust across a wide enough range.

Many restraint garments are cut on one narrow pattern, so a small number of sizes cover only a small number of bodies. We think you deserve a straight answer rather than a hopeful label. Here is what our two jackets come in.

	Sizes	Colours by size	How it adjusts
Half Jacket	Small, Medium	Small: Black, Red-Black, Pink. Medium: Black.	One vertical centre strap with a buckle and four buckled straps across the back
Bondage Jacket	Medium, Large	Medium: Black, White, Pink, Red. Large: Black.	Five buckled straps on the back plus a waist belt, with hip buckles

The measurements for each size live in one place, our size guide, so they stay current; we don't repeat them here, where they could drift out of date. Read it with your own numbers in hand. If your measurements sit above the largest size it lists, the current jackets will not fit you well, and we would rather tell you now than have you open a package you cannot return.

How do you measure for a restraint jacket?

Use a soft tape measure and take three measurements: the chest, the upper arm and the sleeve length. Stand relaxed, keep the tape level and snug without pressing.

1. Chest. Wrap the tape around the chest at the point the size guide gives for that jacket. Breathe out normally and read the number.
2. Upper arm. Measure around the widest part of the upper arm, relaxed. The sleeves on both jackets are long and closed, so a snug upper arm matters for comfort.
3. Sleeve length. Measure from the shoulder point to the base of the thumb with the arm slightly bent, and compare it with the sleeve figure in the size guide.
4. Height. Use it as a second check, particularly for the full-length Bondage Jacket, where the body of the jacket is longer.

Measure over thin clothing or bare skin, not over a thick jumper. If you can, ask a partner to read the tape: it is easier to keep level. Our full sizing guide goes through the method in more detail.

What if you are between sizes?

Choose the larger size. A slightly roomy jacket tightens down with its straps, while a jacket that is too small cannot be loosened past its limit.

If your measurement is above the top of the largest size, a jacket is the wrong item, and a strap-based piece is a better route. If you are unsure either way, contact us before you order and we will help you pick, which is much easier than sorting out a return.

Fit also has a feel check once the jacket is on. You should be able to take a full, easy breath with the chest strap closed, slide two fingers under the collar, keep warm hands with no tingling, and have no strap digging in at the shoulder or underarm. If any of these fails, loosen that strap a notch and tighten the one beside it. Stop and take the jacket off if the discomfort persists.

Which pieces are most adjustable?

Strap-based pieces adjust the most, because their length is set by a buckle rather than by cut. Cuffs, collars and under-mattress straps stretch across a wider range of bodies than a tailored garment can.

• Cuffs and collars. Each sets its size at a buckle rather than by cut. Our kits are described as sized to fit a wide range of bodies.
• The Bed Restraint Kit. It uses an under-mattress strap that fits a standard bed, with cuffs that adjust across body types, so no hardware needs fitting to a particular frame.
• The Half Jacket. A buckled centre strap and four buckled straps across the back, each set separately.
• The Bondage Jacket. A multi-point strap system, five buckled straps on the back plus a waist belt and hip buckles, built to adjust to a custom fit across body types.

Compare the size guide with your own tape measure before ordering. Product pages show current colours and availability, and kits sell out from time to time.

Is a plus-size fit just about the chest?

No. The chest decides which size to buy, but comfort depends on the whole fit. Shoulder width, upper arm and the way the collar sits all matter, and a jacket can match your chest measurement and still feel wrong if the sleeves are tight. That is why this guide asks for three measurements instead of one.

It also helps to think about what you will do in the jacket. A snug fit on the chest is the goal, but comfort at the shoulders and arms decides how long a session is enjoyable. If you tend to run warm or like to keep movement in your shoulders, favour the larger size and tighten from there.

Can you return it if it does not fit?

Yes, if it is still sealed. Unopened items in their original packaging, with seals intact, can be returned within 30 days of delivery, and for sizing returns a return shipping fee comes out of the refund. Opened or unsealed items can't be returned unless they arrive damaged or defective. Start a return through our Contact page before sending anything back. That is why it pays to measure first and ask before you order. Shipping within the US is free and takes 3 to 5 business days, with plain packaging and KBD on your statement.

Questions

What if my measurements are above your largest size?
Then the current jackets will not fit you well, and we would rather say so. Strap-based pieces such as adjustable cuffs reach further, and we are happy to help you choose if you contact us before ordering.

Should I size up if I am tall?
Not automatically. Check the sleeve and length figures in the size guide as well as the chest, since long arms can decide the size even when the chest measurement fits.

Are the sizes the same across colours?
The jacket is the same. Only the colours available per size differ, so check each product page.

What should I do if a strap feels tight?
Loosen it a notch, then tighten a neighbouring strap if you need the same overall hold. If tightness, numbness or tingling continues, release the jacket and take a break.
