Buying a fitting jacket online isn't fun, especially when you don't have your mom around. The key is to know your body measurements and compare sizes with your old clothes. Measure the Jordan windbreaker against your body, while the fluffy pilot jacket should fit over at least a sweater.
Returning a jacket that doesn't fit is a hassle. You probably misjudged the measurements, cut, or don't know how it should fit. To avoid a repeat, here are a few tips that will dress you in a perfect fit easily and stress-free.
You can measure the right size of the jacket – check our size charts
At UNCS, we offer sizes from XS to 5XL, and everyone can find something suitable. All you have to do is measure your chest width, waist, and torso length.
Compare these measurements with the chart provided under each product.
Rather than exact values, aim for proportion. The chest measurements matter the most.
The type of jacket also affects the fit
Pilot jackets should be massive, as they were worn by pilots in uninsulated cockpits. Plus, they are for winter when you wear a sweater or hoodie. So don't be afraid to go up a size, so you're not tight in it. The oversized trend also applies to Jordan jackets.
Go for a larger size with denim jackets too, as they may shrink when washed. Conversely, measure leather biker jackets directly on the body. They look best when they follow your figure.
Thumb rules for the perfect fit
Measuring your measurements and checking the chart is basic. Here are a few tricks to choose a perfectly fitting jacket.
Check the reviews. If the jacket has an unusual cut or the sizes don't match reality, you'll definitely find out in the reviews. Read a few of them; you often come across someone with a similar body type. Compare the charts with the clothing you already have. If you already own a well-fitting jacket, measure it and compare the measurements with the ones on the chart. We often recommend this approach. It's better than measuring yourself – just make sure the products have roughly the same cut. You'll find a European-to-American size converter for each jacket for comparison.
