Size Guide
Find Your Perfect Fit
Choosing the right outerwear is not just about style—it’s about comfort and confidence. Since sizing can vary between brands and regions, we’ve created this size guide based on standard U.S. measurements to help you pick the perfect jacket, coat, or parka. Whether you’re layering for a cold winter day or choosing a lightweight piece for mild weather, the right fit ensures maximum comfort and mobility.
Men’s Outerwear Sizing in the USA
For men, U.S. outerwear sizes generally follow chest measurements. If you usually wear a medium T-shirt, you will likely need a medium in jackets as well. However, coats and parkas often allow room for layering, so it’s best to measure your chest around the fullest part and compare it with the brand’s size chart. For example, a chest measurement of 38–40 inches typically corresponds to a men’s size Medium in the U.S. Standard sleeve and shoulder measurements are also factored in to ensure a comfortable fit.
Women’s Outerwear Sizing in the USA
Women’s outerwear in the U.S. is usually measured by bust, waist, and hip size. A U.S. size 6 or 8 dress, for example, will often align with a small or medium in coats and jackets. To get the best fit, measure around the fullest part of your bust and hips, and use the waist as a secondary reference point. Since outerwear often needs to fit over sweaters and layers, consider sizing up if you prefer a more relaxed fit. Many U.S. brands also provide petite and plus options to ensure that every woman finds a flattering silhouette.
Helpful Tips
- Layering: If you plan to wear thick sweaters or hoodies underneath, choose one size larger for added comfort.
- Length Matters: Longer coats often provide a slimmer look, while shorter jackets allow for more movement.
- Check Brand Charts: While U.S. sizing is fairly standardized, always check the brand’s specific chart for exact measurements.
