Size Guide

Jacket sizes

Jacket and suit sizes on this site are chest measurements in centimetres. Find your chest measurement in the table, then choose the fit that matches your height.

Size Chest (cm) Chest (in) How to measure
76 76 30 Tape around the fullest part of the chest, level under the arms, over a shirt.
80 80 31.5 Keep the tape snug but not tight; breathe normally while it is read.
84 84 33 Stand upright with arms down; do not hold the chest expanded.
88 88 34.5 Measure over a dress shirt, never over a jumper or a jacket.
92 92 36 Have someone else hold the tape if you can — self-measuring reads short.
96 96 38 Check the tape is level across the back as well as the front.
100 100 39.5 Round up to the next size when you land between two numbers.
104 104 41 Measure again after a few minutes; take the larger of the two readings.
108 108 42.5 Keep one finger under the tape so it is not pulled into the ribs.
112 112 44 Take the reading where the tape crosses, not where it ends.
116 116 45.5 Measure in front of a mirror to check the tape has not ridden up.
120 120 47 Do not add allowance yourself — the cut already includes it.
124 124 49 Use a cloth tape; a steel rule or string will read wrong.
128 128 50.5 Write the number down before you shop so you order the same size twice.

Short, Regular and Long

The second option on a jacket is its fit, which sets body and sleeve length rather than width. Pick it by your height.

Fit Suits a height of How to check
Short Up to about 5'7" The jacket hem should cover the seat; if it hangs below it, go Short.
Regular About 5'8" to 6'0" The cuff should sit at the wrist bone with about half an inch of shirt showing.
Long About 6'1" and over If sleeves stop above the wrist bone in Regular, go Long.

Trousers

Dress trousers and suit trousers are sold by waist size, and are supplied unhemmed or with a plain hem depending on the cut.

Measurement Where it is taken How to measure
Waist At the natural waist, where the trouser sits Tape level around the waist over a shirt, one finger under the tape.
Inseam Crotch seam to hem Measure a pair you already own, laid flat, from crotch seam down the inside leg.
Outseam Top of waistband to hem Measure down the outside of the leg with the trousers laid flat and smooth.

Still unsure

Bring the measurements to the counter and we will check them for you.

You can also call (718) 768-1100 during store hours and read your numbers out — sizing is faster to settle on the phone than by email. If you are between two sizes on any garment, order the larger one: taking a suit in is routine, letting it out is not always possible.
