Accurate measurements are essential when purchasing a long coat. It’s important to know how to measure yourself correctly. Here are some tips to help you get accurate measurements:

Measure Yourself While Wearing Light Clothes

Take your measurements while wearing light clothes. Measurements are usually smaller than they appear because of clothing. You should also wear a belt or cinch your pants at the waist. This helps eliminate any extra room in your pants.

Use A Tape Measure

Using a tape measure is an easy way to ensure accuracy. Make sure you use a tape measure with metric markings. The most common tape measures are those made by Hanes, VICI, and Measuring Resources.

Stand Tall When Taking Your Body Measurements

Stand up straight when taking your measurements. Don’t slouch or lean forward when measuring your chest and waist. Also, don’t pull your shirt tight around your stomach. Instead, loosen your top button so it doesn’t constrict your torso.

Getting Your Waist Size 

Your natural waist can be measured by placing a tape measure around your belly button. If you’re unsure where your belly button is, place one finger down into your navel. Using a tape measure, wrap it around your abdomen about 2 inches above your finger. This will be your waist size.

Getting Your Chest Size 

To measure your chest, wrap the tape measure around the fullest part of your chest and armpits. Make sure the tape measure is parallel to the floor. This will give you an accurate measurement of your chest size.

Size is not the only factor you need to consider when choosing winter coats such as long coats. You also have to consider the type of long coat you want, the color, and the style.

Quality

How to know if your long coat has of good quality? One indication of a good quality long coat is if the seams are well-sewn. The fabric should also be high-quality and not see-through.

Warmth Over Trend

Another indication of long coat quality is if it has a lining. A good long jacket will have a lining that lasts for years and doesn’t wear out easily. The lining can be made from cotton, nylon, or polyester.

Style

When choosing a long coat, you need to decide what style you want. There are many different styles of coats to choose from, including trench coats, pea coats, and long wool coats.

Color

The color is another factor when choosing long coats. You need to consider what look you want and how it will go with your wardrobe. For example, if you plan on wearing a long coat in the winter, choose a dark shade like black or grey. This helps keep out snow and rain during harsh weather conditions.

Price

Another deciding factor is the long coat price. While long coats can be expensive, they’re worth the cost if you plan to wear them for many years.

Pockets  

One last deciding factor in long jacket buying is pockets and how functional they are. You should also consider where your pocket placement is located on the jacket as well as what size they are.
