To find the perfect men's jacket, you need to decide on the right size and style. In clothes that are tailored to the figure, a man has an attractive appearance and feels comfortable. First of all, you need to take into account the girth of the chest. This measurement is taken with a sewing centimeter. It extends to the chest through the armpits, under the shoulder blades and along the most prominent points of the chest.

When taking measurements no need to hold back your breath and try to suck in your stomach. Such measurements do not provide reliable parameters. The girth of the chest is calculated in centimeters, and the resulting number is divided by 2. In this way, the size of the jacket indicated by the Russian manufacturer is determined.

You will also need measurements:

  • shoulder width;
  • growth;
  • waist circumference;
  • arms in length.

Necessarily needed take into account the features of the figure. If you have a belly, you need to add up to 5-6 centimeters to the waist circumference, otherwise the jacket will be tightly buttoned. All measurements are rounded up. To make it clearer, consider an example situation, taking for clarity a man with a chest volume of 104 cm.With this parameter, he needs a jacket of size 52. Sometimes, in the course of calculations, a number comes out for which there is no size. Then the result needs to be rounded up, especially when it comes to outerwear.

Here extra centimeters are necessary so that in frosty weather you can pry on a thick sweater. But if you like wearing tight-fitting clothes, opt for the smaller size.

Sizing

Thanks to a special table where the parameters are indicated, you can quickly determine the appropriate size for men's clothing. Using it, it is enough to simply compare the results of your measurements with the required markings. You can also find out the size of products not only of Russian, but also of foreign production.

An important criterion that needs to be taken into account is the height of a man. If there is no stadiometer, it is determined near any flat wall. They do it barefoot, with a straight back and straightened shoulders, leaning against the wall. A mark is placed above the crown, the distance from it to the floor is measured in centimeters. The result in numbers determines the height of the person being measured. On men's jackets made in Russia, the figures indicate the height of 170 cm, 173 cm and 176 cm.Here you need to understand that with an actual height of 171-172 cm, it is impractical to buy a jacket designed for a man with a height of 1 m 70 cm.The correct decision is to opt for a jacket sewn for a height of 173 cm.

Purchasing online from the internet will likely require additional measurements. For example, in order for a jacket to fit perfectly, you need to know the length of the sleeve. Measure the distance from the humerus to the wrist with a sewing centimeter. In this case, it is necessary to keep the arm bent at the elbow. It is also recommended to measure the length of the jacket from the floor to the stitching under the collar. At the same time, it is not essential to take measurements directly from a person. For this purpose, any available outerwear that suits him in size is quite suitable.

If it is possible to try on a jacket, you need to look closely at the shoulder seams. They should descend slightly on the forearm. This means that the product is suitable in size, since there is a margin to put on some additional clothes.

Do not forget the fact that jackets are sewn from fabrics that do not stretch on the figure. Therefore, it is important to choose this component of the wardrobe very responsibly.

What is a dimensional grid for?

Most men liked online shopping, as such shopping does not imply interruption from work or favorite leisure activities. The choice can be easily made via a smartphone or laptop. At the same time, home delivery with preliminary fitting is often offered. Such a service captivates modern fashionistas who do not want to make unnecessary movements. A wide range of jackets is presented on men's clothing sites. It remains only to decide on the style, color and size. Here sometimes the first difficulties arise, because manufacturers from different countries have their own size ranges.

Let's try to understand this issue as well. So, when choosing a jacket of German or French production, you need to consider that their sizes are identical to domestic standards. For example, a size 54 jacket made in Russia is the same size 54 in Germany and France. For Italian things, you will need to check with a special table or go the other way - to make calculations. You need to subtract 2 from a suitable Russian size. For example, if you have size 50 according to domestic standards, things from Italy need to be ordered in size 48. There is also an international sizing system. In it, the size grid is marked with the letter marking S, M, L, etc. it is necessary to be guided by the corresponding table of the international format.

How to choose?

It should be noted that size is not the only criterion by which men's outerwear is selected. Also to be determine the style and suitable material... Of course, the new thing should be combined in style with everyday things in the wardrobe. Otherwise, after the purchase, there is a possibility that it will be thrown into the far corner. The seasonality of the jacket will also have to be taken into account. When purchasing a thing for autumn or for spring weather, you must take into account that in the rainy season, waterproof clothing is preferable. Modern manufacturers have a wide range of men's jackets made of practical raincoat fabric and a popular membrane. These are moisture resistant and durable fabrics.

For spring or autumn, it is advisable to choose a model with a hood. It is better if it is deep, with a fastener under the chin and tightening elastic bands around the perimeter. In windy weather, you can do without a hat with such a thing. Demi-season jackets must be insulated with a thin layer of silicone, padding polyester and other materials. The product turns out to be quite warm and light, in it the bad weather will definitely not care.

Winter streetwear also has its own selection criteria.... In cold weather, elongated models have priority. Cropped garments are impractical because you can't wear a jacket underneath. By and large, such a combination would be ridiculous. Regardless of personal preference it is better to buy a product of a well-known brand. Unfortunately, cheap things do not last more than a season. Having spent on high-quality outerwear, you can count on it for more than one year.

Features of choosing a jacket for a man.

  • Jackets of Thai manufacturers are small in comparison with analogues of Russian or American production.
  • In some dimensional grids, the parameters of the product are given, not the parameters of an adult.
  • When measuring, you should always take into account the insulation in the jacket, adding up to a couple of centimeters in thickness.
  • There should be no feeling of tightness in the jacket. It is important to move freely in it. To do this, the resulting measurements are increased by about 2 cm.

To choose a style, it is worth trying out many different models. Only in this way it will become clear what really suits your face, and what you feel not comfortable enough in. It is also important to choose the right color that will emphasize your look. There should be no advice in this matter - everything is determined individually, looking in the mirror and comparing your reflection in jackets of different colors.

Immediately before paying for the item, it is recommended to carefully examine it for defects - be sure to unscrew the pockets, check the quality of all seams, fittings and the operation of zippers. If there is no one hundred percent certainty that this is your thing, does not interfere with clarifying the warranty periods for the return of the product.

At home, without cutting off the tags, try on a new thing with different things from your wardrobe. Move around in the jacket, rate the level of comfort and how you feel. Do this in a good mood so that the acquisition will bring only benefit and joy in the future.
