Opt for a jacket that's 1 size larger than your shirt size.This is the general advice for buying a jacket so that it won't be too tight. Having the jacket a little bigger than your normal size will also help to ensure that you can easily layer it over other items.
Measure fully around the broadest part of your chest (tape should rest over the nipples). Measure from the shoulder seam at the base of your neck, down the front of your chest, to the bottom of your belt. Measure from base of neck to the desired length (a full-length coat will come to just below your knee caps).
“We often encourage guys to size up when it comes to outerwear. If your coat is snug with a blazer or a sweater underneath, you should go for a bigger size. If the sleeves are too long, you can always get them tailored.

Should you buy a coat a size up or down if you are between sizes? Definately, buy the coat slightly larger. Not only will it keep you warmer because of the air pockets on the inside, but it will also allow you to wear layers when the weather gets really cold.

The size label on a suit jacket will include a number—typically between 34 and 52—and a letter or two. The numbers are the chest size of the jacket (not to be confused with your chest measurement, which is different—more on that later), and usually they're offered in even sizes.

Raincoats are sized like suit jackets, with the number denoting the circumference of your chest, and the length letter (L, R, S), referring to the cut of the bottom and the length of the arms as there is a correlation between chest size and arm length.

Steps to Measure a Dress
- Bust: The measurement is taken from side seam to side seam directly under the armhole or sleeve.
- Waist: This is the smallest part of your waist.
- Hip: This is the widest part of your hip, across the hipbone.
- Flare: This is length of the flare of your dress.
Chest width: Measure from the bottom of one armhole across the chest to the bottom of the opposite armhole. Waist width: Place the measuring tape where the natural waist would fall, usually a bit lower than halfway down the blazer, and measure from one side of the jacket across to the other.
How to Measure Your Waist
- Start at the top of your hip bone, then bring the tape measure all the way around your body, level with your belly button.
- Make sure it's not too tight and that it's straight, even at the back. Don't hold your breath while measuring.
- Check the number on the tape measure right after you exhale.
