Suit / Jacket Size Calculator

Turn your chest measurement and height into a suit jacket size like 40R, with the EU and UK equivalents and the recommended chest range.

Suit sizes are approximate and vary by brand and cut. Measure your chest over a shirt and try the jacket on when you can.

About this tool

This calculator works out your suit jacket size from a chest measurement and your height, entirely in your browser with nothing uploaded. Measure your chest around the fullest part, under the arms and across the shoulder blades, keeping the tape level, and enter your height in the same unit.

Jacket sizes are numbered by chest measurement in inches, rounded to the nearest even number — so a 40-inch chest is a size 40. A length letter is added from your height: S (short) under 5'8", R (regular) from 5'8" to 6'1", and L (long) above 6'1" — giving a size like 40R. The EU size is the number plus 10 (a 40 becomes a 50), the UK uses the same number-and-letter as the US, and the recommended chest range shows the measurements that round to this size. Build (slim, regular or athletic) is shown as the fit style to look for on the rack.

Jackets are cut with built-in ease, so choose the size from your body measurement rather than adding room yourself. If you are between two even numbers, most people prefer the smaller for a trimmer chest and the larger for extra shoulder room.

Frequently asked questions

How do I measure my chest correctly?
Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest, high under the arms and across the shoulder blades, staying level and keeping the tape snug but not tight. Wear a shirt, not a jacket, while measuring.
What do S, R and L mean in a size like 40R?
They are the jacket length: S (short) for heights under about 5'8", R (regular) for 5'8"–6'1", and L (long) for taller than 6'1". The number is your chest size in inches.
How does the EU size relate to the US size?
European jacket sizes are the US chest number plus 10 — a US 40 is an EU 50, a 42 is a 52, and so on. The length letter still applies to the cut.
Are suit sizes exact between brands?
No. Sizing is approximate and varies by brand, cut and country, and slim or athletic fits change the shape considerably. Use this as a starting point and try the jacket on or check the brand's chart.
