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.
