:lol: Yea I bought this jacket from yoox.com a few days ago that looks like chris martins jacket. I really wanted and i had the money, and the jacket was a size 42. I was debating how big that would be, and it says it converts to a size XL in mens. I am 17 I am about 5'9 and I weigh about 160 pounds. I was wondering if you think that would fit me. Are they measuring around the waist that's a size 42 or the chest or what. Help would be appreciated for anyone who knows about mens sizing....

 

Thx.. :P

 

p.s. here's the link the a pic of it.... http://www.yoox.com/item/tskay//rr/1/cod10/410235791N/areaid/36/st/S/ADD/Jackets

I would say you were a medium or at the outside a large, but no way a XL

Coats, Jackets & Blazers

 

Follow these guidelines to determine your correct size (If you are measuring in centimeters, divide by 2.54 to obtain inches):

 

To measure your chest : Raise your arms slightly and measure just under your arms. Be sure to cross over the shoulder blades and the fullest part of the chest. Jacket sizes are equal to your chest size. For example, if you have a 38" chest, you would wear a size 38 coat, jacket or blazer.

 

To confirm your jacket size, measure your waist or the waistband of a comfortable, well fitting pair of pants and add 6 inches.

 

 

Hope that helps you.

Nice! Looks very similar.

ill probably be wearing a few shirts under it to so that might add some inches, and also as far the the length of the jacket, that is still pretty short im sure right its just the distance around that's different right? thx for your help...
