Jackets & outerwear size guide: how to fit your work team

📏 4 min readUpdated 2026-01

Jackets & outerwear sizing at a glance

Outerwear sits on top of everything else, so size it over your team's normal layers. A softshell that fits over a hoodie is a size up from your usual t-shirt. We carry XS–4XL across the jacket range so even a very tall line-of-welder team gets covered.

  • Measure the chest over the layer they'll wear inside — that's the only measurement that matters.
  • Raglan sleeves and gussets change how a size feels at the shoulder; go by the chest.
  • If arms are the issue, check the sleeve length column in the size table before sizing up — a big jacket is not automatically longer in the arm.

The size run to plan around

XS–XXL regular, some garments go to 4XL

When a size looks off

Everything above is a starting point, not a rule. If you're between sizes, order a couple first and return the ones that don't fit. The Jackets & Outerwear workwear page has the full size table on every product.
