Size and fit

The most reliable way to size a boxy cut is to lay a garment you already wear flat, measure it, and compare. Body measurements tell you less, because the whole point of the cut is the room in it.

Lay it flat, buttoned or zipped, and smooth it out without stretching.

• Chest — armpit to armpit, across the front. Double it for the full circumference.
• Length — highest point of the shoulder straight down to the hem.
• Shoulder — seam to seam across the back.
• Sleeve — shoulder seam to cuff.
• Waist — across the top of the waistband, doubled.
• Inseam — crotch seam to hem, along the inside leg.
