How To Measure Yourself
The fit of your jacket is not the same as the fit of your other tops. Finding the perfect coat requires finding your exact fit. You must take precise measurements of several body parts, starting at the shoulders and ending at the waist, in order to achieve this.
Usually, each brand includes a sizing chart. To get a blazer that fits you well, compare its measurements to your own. These are the procedures you can use to obtain a precise fit.
Step 1: Take Off All Thick Apparel
You should gauge your body as closely as possible to avoid having inaccurate figures. Thick apparel can interfere with your measuring. It’s okay to have a shirt or T-shirt on, but a sweater or woolen waistcoat will cause inaccuracy.
Step 2: Find Out Your Bust Size
It’s easy to measure a man’s chest for a jacket if you’re wondering how to do so. Encircle the greatest part of your chest with the tape measure. Ensure that the tape is positioned evenly, firmly, and without tilt or skew.
You can increase the measurement by a few centimeters for a more relaxed fit. But be aware that the majority of manufacturers already cut the chest around ten centimeters longer than the estimated chest length. This explains why there is an imbalance in the ratio between your jacket and chest sizes.
Step 3: Tape Your Waistline
Step 4: Determine Your Shoulder Length
Start by standing straight and relaxing your shoulders. Then, across your back, extend the tape horizontally from the point of one shoulder to the other. And there you are, standing shoulder-length apart.
The shoulder length should be accurate, because the jacket would otherwise not sit flat on your shoulders and would have rumples formed in the sleeves.
Step 5: Get Your Arm/Sleeve Length
You’re going to need assistance from someone to obtain this. Lift your arm to a 45-degree angle and position the upper end of the tape in the center of your underarm. Stretch the tape to the carpal bone along the arm. Your arm or sleeve length is this.
Step 6: Size Up Your Hips
Run the measuring strip around the largest area of your pelvis. Noting the number can be a little difficult, so you can have someone else do it for you.
Step 7: Find Your Desired Length
You should carefully determine the length of the jacket you want, whether it’s cropped to terminate just above your hip bone or longer. To do that, begin at the nape of your neck and work your way down to the jacket’s desired ending.
Step 8: Go Get Your Coat
You will never have a jacket that fits poorly now that you have all the crucial measurements. Determine whether a small, medium, or large size will fit you best by comparing the numbers you wrote down with the size table supplied by the brand you are purchasing your jacket from.
How To Find A Jacket Size
Step 1: Get The Coat Length
For an exact leather jacket size, begin immediately below the collar and go down to the bottom. This figure may serve as a quick leather jacket size guide to find blazers of the same length.
Step 2: Get The Jacket Chest Size
To get the jacket chest size, find the length of the chest from one armpit to the other. Double the number you get, and that’s chest length.
Step 3: Compare With The Leather Jacket Sizing Guide
Every brand has its own leather jacket sizing guide, so you always want to match your jacket measurements with it to get the right coat.
Step 4: Get The Sleeve Length
For this, turn the jacket over and record the length from the middle of the collar to the cuff.
Step 5: Get The Shoulder Length
Keep the blazer with the backside up and go from the end of one shoulder to the other. Make sure the jacket is flattened out so that you don’t end up with incorrect figures.
