Size Chart Disclaimer and Measurement Guide
Important Notice:
Our size chart reflects the exterior measurements of each jacket—not the internal space available once you factor in the lining and room for clothing. To ensure a proper fit, you’ll need to add extra centimeters to your actual body measurements. Please refer to the guideline below to determine how much additional room you’ll need based on your desired fit.
General Sizing Guidelines:
- Determine Your Size:
- Measure your chest and bottom (at the widest point—either your chest or stomach, whichever is larger).
- Use the guide below to add the appropriate amount of ease depending on your fit preference:
Slim Fit: add 6–8 cm to your body measurement (suitable for light layers; T-Shirts, henleys)
Standard Fit: add 8–12 cm to your body measurement (suitable for layering over a hoody)
Relaxed Fit: add 12–15+ cm to your body measurement (looser fitting/ very relaxed)
- If you’re between sizes, we recommend choosing the larger size for comfort, especially for heavier leathers or lined jackets.
- If you plan to wear heavier layers, add an additional 2–4 cm to your base measurement.
-
Special Considerations for Vests:
For our Gunslinger and High Noon vests:
- Add 2–4 cm to your chest and bottom for a fitted look
- Add 4–6 cm for a standard fit
Measurement Instructions:
Chest Measurement:
Use a soft measuring tape (not a metal one). Wrap it around the fullest part of your chest, just under your armpits, while standing relaxed with good posture. The tape should sit snugly but not tightly.
Bottom Measurement:
Measure around the widest part of your waist or stomach—whichever is larger—to ensure the jacket can zip or button comfortably.
Sleeve Length:
Measure from the tip of your shoulder (or your clavicle) down to where your wrist meets your hand. Your height is typically correlated to sleeve length—please keep that in mind if you’re taller or shorter than average.
Additional Tips:
- We strongly recommend adding the appropriate ease as listed above to your body measurements before referencing the size chart.
- For heavier layers or broader builds, use the higher end of the recommended ease range.
- If possible, have someone assist you with taking your measurements for better accuracy.
Note:
Our jackets are handmade, so please allow for a +/- 1 cm variance. If you need assistance with sizing, feel free to reach out through our Contact Page—we’re happy to help.
