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
• The chest is usually the most important measurement ... please measure across the chest, just below the armpits.  This is basically half the size of the chest (same with bottom opening)
• 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 Large is a little bigger but the Medium is somewhat smaller.
• 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.

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.
