NOTE: The tables below show the measurements of the Peacoat itself (in inches and in centimeters), not the wearer. Why?

[Please click to return to the main page on the Peacoat.]

The easiest way to determine the size you should order is to measure a garment you already have that fits the way you want:

• The garment you measure should not be a knit, because knits are normally too stretchy
• Completely close the center front of the garment
• Lay the garment very flat on a table
• Measure across the chest, just below the armpits
• Double the measure across the chest, giving the actual chest size of your garment
• Compare the chest size of your garment with the sizes in the chart (inches or centimeters)
• If your garment measures 24 inches across the chest, you would order a size Large because the 49-inch chest of the Anorak would be 1 inch larger than the 48-inch chest of the garment you measured. The Medium would be too tight
• If you are between sizes, choose the larger size

Again, please note the measures in the charts below refer to the garment, not the person.

The “Length Center Back” is the length from the base of the collar (where collar meets the back of the jacket) down to the bottom. The length of the sleeve is measured from just below the collar, at the center of the back where there is a prominent bone, out over the shoulder, around the bend of the elbow and down to the end of the cuff. The chest is measured from just below the arms.

Sizes: XXS=Extra Extra Small; XS=Extra Small; S=Small; M=Medium; L=Large; XL=Extra Large; 2X=Two-Extra Large; 3X=Three-Extra Large; 4X=Four-Extra Large

As mentioned ... If you think you are in-between sizes, we suggest you go with the larger size.
