If between sizes, consider your layering needs (e.g., thicker sweaters require a looser fit).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. How do I measure my chest circumference properly?
Use a flexible tape measure around the widest part of your chest, keeping it snug but not tight.

2. What does the length code mean?
Length codes (S, R, L, XL) correspond to jacket length based on your height: Short, Regular, Long, and Extra Long.

3. Can I use centimeters instead of inches?
Yes, simply select the centimeters option and enter your measurements accordingly; the calculator converts them for you.

4. What if I have an athletic build?
The calculator adjusts sizes for athletic/muscular builds to accommodate broader shoulders and chest.

5. How do fit preferences affect size?
Slim fit sizes run smaller for a tailored look, modern fit is slightly relaxed, and classic fit offers the most room.

US/UK sizes are typically chest measurements in inches; EU sizes are usually 10 higher (e.g., US 40 ≈ EU 50).
