Leather is a great material for protecting a rider during a fall or crash. Though more expensive than textile, they can often be repaired afterwards too.
Buying off-the-rack clothing for my first set of gear meant that stuff doesn't exactly fit perfectly. I'm not that tall (5'8") but fairly broad through the chest and shoulders yet narrow enough (34") through the waist.
All that said, here's a list of leather repair and alteration places that seem to cater to motorcyclists. Keep in mind, I haven't used any of them so I can't vouch for the quality of their work.
