Jacket Measurements

To get the right size jacket you must measure.

CHEST MEASUREMENT… To do this place a tape measure around the chest and make sure the tape is level all the way around. Measure the circumference at the widest part of your upper chest just under your arm pits.

For a second measurement to help in your decision making and getting a good fit – please measure your hip.

HIP MEASUREMENT… To find your hip measurement firstly find the natural crease line of your waist, stand straight with hands at the side. Then bend sideways running the hand down the outside surface of the leg.  This movement will produce a crease at the waist.  Return to standing straight and from this crease measure 18cm down to your hip line (usually the widest part of your body). At this point measure the circumference of your body, making sure the tape measure is even all the way around.

SLEEVE MEASUREMENT… Checking the arm length can help you make your sizing choice. Run your hand along the top of your shoulder until you reach the boney point at the end. Measure from here along the length of your arm until your wrist crease

Take the measurement in centimetres.  If you don’t have a tape measure use string or wool then lie this along a ruler.

Size Choice

Consider how you would like to use your jacket when selecting size.  A fitted jacket can be hard to wear with lots of layers underneath it.  If you want to layer under your jacket or feel like you have room to move consider whether you should go up a size.  If you measure between sizes also think about this.
