Jacket Size Calculator
When it comes to finding the right size to wear with your jacket, it can often be a frustrating process, particularly online when making purchases across different brands and styles. We've created a Jacket Size Calculator, which uses your chest size to give you an accurate estimation of your size. A properly fitted blazer, leather jacket, winter coat, or windbreaker is crucial for both comfort and style, whether you're in search of a tailored option or a rugged leather jacket. If the jacket is too tight, it will not allow you to move around as well, and it may cause discomfort and will not keep you warm as well. On the contrary, if the jacket is too loose, it will look sloppy and will not provide you with the warmth you need.
The calculator is used by taking a measurement around the widest part of your chest, making sure that the measuring tape is held horizontal, and that it is not too tight, but not too loose. You may enter your measurement in inches or cm. Men's and women's jackets are cut differently and when women's jackets are fitted to a curve of the bust or waist circumference, men's jackets are fitted to the widest part of the shoulder and the straight drop of the shoulder, so in order to give a more accurate recommendation, our tool enables you to choose the gender of the jacket that you are looking to match.
Keep in mind this is a general guideline following standard size charts. Each brand can have their own sizing criteria, so it's always best to refer to each brand's sizing guide before you make a final decision. This calculator will help you make informed decisions when buying your next jacket without second-guessing your purchase.
Key Points About Jacket Sizing
- Layering: What will you wear under? If you are considering the thick sweaters, consider buying one size larger.
- Shoulder Fit: The shoulder seam should be at the natural end of the shoulder.
- Sleeve Length: Sleeves should ideally end right at your wrist bone.
- Closure: The jacket should be fully zipped or buttoned and not drag across the chest.
