Want to be exact? Use your chest measurement

How to Measure

Chest

  • Stand straight with arms relaxed at your sides.
  • Wrap a tape measure around the fullest part of your chest.
  • Keep the tape comfortably snug — leave about 1 inch of extra space.
  • Leather/Denim Jackets: These fabrics do not stretch. If you prefer a more relaxed fit, choose the next size up.

Sleeve

  • Start at the center of the back of your neck.
  • Run the tape over your shoulder and down your arm to your wrist.

Waist

  • Measure around your natural waistline using the same method as the chest.
  • Keep the tape snug, but not tight.

Between Sizes?

If you’re between sizes, we recommend selecting the larger size for a more comfortable fit.
