The easiest and best way to find your sizes is to look in your closet!
Find the coat size of a jacket that feels good by looking in the inside pocket. A good fitting pair of pants will have the waist size on its label. Often, the inseam is listed too. ( inside the pant leg from the crotch to the cuff).
If not, just lay the pants on a flat surface, and measure from the top of the waist down the pant leg to the cuff. That’s the pant outseam number. It is definitely worth the time to look for the correct sizes, because most of us tend to spread out a bit as we get older.
As a general guideline for coat length sizing, you can look at your height. . .
- Short lengths are usually about 5’4″ through 5’7″
- Regular lengths are usually about 5’8″ through 5’11”
- Long lengths are usually about 6′ through 6’3″
- Extra Long lengths are usually about 6’4″ through 6’6″
Shirt sleeve length can help in finding the right coat length. Usually. . .
- A Short has a maximum shirt sleeve length of 33″
- A Regular has a maximum shirt sleeve length of 35″
- A Long has a maximum shirt sleeve length of 37″
- An Extra Long has a maximum shirt sleeve length of 39″
Use the Sizing guides in this section to measure for the correct coat size and length, pant waist and length, and shirt neck and sleeve length. It’s a good idea to confirm your sizes by getting a courtesy measurement at a formal wear shop or department store.
