The Harris Tweed Overcoat is an investment piece and a coat for life, so we want it to fit just right.
Our coats have been designed with a relaxed fit to allow plenty of layering underneath. If you prefer a closer fit than is shown in the photos, then we'd recommend sizing down.

How to find the right size:
1. The measurements are taken on the garment laid flat from seam to seam, not on the body.
2. The body length is the highest point that the body meets the collar, to the base of the garment.
3. The sleeve is measured from where the sleeve meets the collar seam, to the base of the cuff, following the outside curve of the sleeve.
4. The chest is measured from armpit to armpit, laid flat, not the circumference.
