Worried I might order the jacket and then it wont fit tbh.
Is it easy sizing i mean, i just take a metric and do it (need help of someone
) but is there much chance ur calculations may be that bad, that the jacket wont fit?
You know regular headbumping before spending money...
Regards from Spain guys!

So I should do this?
JACKET SIZING:
A) CHEST - Measure high under armpits, spanning the widest part of your chest, bring tape around for one 360 degree complete measure.
B) BACK LENGTH - Measure from nape of neck (at collar seam) to 1 1/4" below BOTTOM of belt line. This is where a waist-length jacket should fall. If you desire a longer length, please mention how much longer and we can see which of our sizes would be close.
C) SHOULDER SPAN - Measure across back in a straight line, from edge of shoulder to opposite edge of shoulder.
D) ARM - Measure from top edge of shoulder to top thumb knuckle.
E) SLEEVE - Measure from nape of neck to shoulder edge, then down arm to bottom of wrist bone.
F) WAIST - Measure 1 1/2" below your navel for a complete 360 degree measurement.
G) HEIGHT - Total height in feet and inches.
Just 2 questions whats a navel and a nape :S

Nape is the back of your neck, navel is your belly button ( your previous connection to Mom).

luisiana jones, I took measurmenst of a old jacket of mine and it worked out well. If you do this make sure the jacket you use still fits the way you like it.

Go to a tailor if you're worried. There are excellent tailors in your area. They'll get it right.

I was worried with this as well and my sizing was not perfect... (Measure twice, order once! works, but I'd recommend STUDY UP then Measure twice...) once you figure out your measurements if you send them to Wested your chances are very good that you'll get an excellent fitting jacket, but correct me if I'm wrong, you can send the jacket back immediately if it doesn’t fit, I believe...
