Jacket Size Chart

Compare tailored men’s jacket numbers and illustrative women’s US, UK, and EU clothing-size bands by chest or bust measurement.

Outerwear needs ease

A jacket measurement is not only about body size. Insulation, layering, mobility, and the intended silhouette can all change the useful size.

Use the correct garment family

Suit jackets, casual jackets, and insulated outerwear may use different size conventions even when the same number or letter appears.

Size the jacket for its intended use

Use chest or bust measurement first, then allow for the layers you expect to wear underneath. A tailored jacket, casual shell and insulated coat can need different ease at the same body measurement.

Check chest or bust first, then account for shoulders, sleeve length, layers and the intended silhouette.
