Female Jacket Ordering Guidelines

General Guidelines	In general if a student is of average weight and height, the bust measurement is the size of the jacket that should be ordered. i.e., if the bust measurement measures 38" and the student is of average weight and height, then you would order a size 38 jacket. The following chart and notes should only be used if a student is between sizes or if you are unsure of what size to order.
	If a student is not of average weight and/or height or the bust measurement is between sizes the chart and comments below will help you determine what size to order or if a tailored jacket is required to attain the best fit.
	Please note, the charts below provide you both the actual body measuremtns as well as the actual measurements of the finished jacket. The jacket measurements provide for ease throughout the bust, hem and sleeves in order to make the jacket comfortable.

Height	Jackets are designed for students of average height. The average height for a female is 5' 5". If your student is 5' 3 to 5' 8" they should be able to wear a standard jacket. If they are on the shorter side, the sleeves will be a little long and the jacket will hit a little lower on the hip. If they are on the taller side, the sleeves will be a little short and the jacket will hit a little higher on the hip. Outside of the 5'3" to 5'8" range it is recommended that a tailored jacket be ordered or that a larger size be ordered in order to get more length in the sleeve and body.
Weight	Jackets are designed for students of average weight. Students carry their weight differently. Depending on if it is dispersed evenly or located in one spot, you will need to determine if you need to order a tailored jacket or if moving up a size will work.
Bust	The bust measurement generally determines what size jacket to order. If you are between sizes it is generally recommended that you move up to the next larger size, however the actual jacket measurement at the bust has 6" of ease so if a student is only slightly larger and the shoulder measurement for that size is within a 1/4" you should be fine. To select the appropriate size jacket you should evaluate both the shoulder and bust measurement together in order to determine which size to order.
Hem	The hem measurement is the actual jacket bottom opening. If a students high hip measurement is less than this measurement and there is at least 3" of additional ease (actual high hip measurement plus 3"), the jacket should fit comfortably. If there is less than 2" of ease, a size larger or a tailored jacket is recommended.
Shoulder	The shoulder measurement is one of the most critical measurements. This is one of the measurements that is generally the same on the jacket pattern as it is on the actual body. If a student is proportioned evenly the shoulder generally drives how the jacket will fit through the rest of the body. Use the chart above along with the bust measurement to determine what standard size jacket to order. If the shoulder measurement is between sizes it is recommended that you move up to the next larger size.
Center back length	The center back length measurement is the actual jacket measurement from the seam under the collar to the bottom of the jacket opening. If your student is 5'3" to 5'8" the center back length on a standard jacket should be fine. If they are on the shorter side, the jacket will hit a little lower on the hip, or if they are on the taller side, the jacket will hit a little higher on the hip. Outside of the 5'3" to 5'8" range it is recommended that a tailored jacket be ordered.
Sleeve length	The sleeve length measurement is the actual jacket measurement from the center back neck of the jacket, over the shoulder and down the sleeve to the bottom of the cuff. If your student is 5'3" to 5'8" the sleeve length on a standard jacket should be fine. If they are on the shorter side the sleeves will be a little long, or if they are on the taller side the sleeves will be a little short. Outside of the 5'3" to 5'8" range it is recommended that a tailored jacket be ordered.
Male Jacket Ordering Guidelines

General Guidelines	In general if a student is of average weight and height, the chest measurement is the size of the jacket that should be ordered. i.e., if the chest measurement measures 42" and the student is of average weight and height, then you would order a size 42 jacket. The following chart and notes should only be used if a student is between sizes or if you are unsure of what size to order.
	If a student is not of average weight and/or height or the chest measurement is between sizes the chart and comments below will help you determine what size to order or if a tailored jacket is required to attain the best fit.
	Please note, the charts below provide you both the actual body measuremtns as well as the actual measurements of the finished jacket. The jacket measurements provide for ease throughout the chest, hem and sleeves in order to make the jacket comfortable.
