Hunt Coats?

What are the sizes like in Hunt Coats? I don't know what size to get.
Answers:
Most, even higher quality ones, are measured across the chest (not around). This is the case unless based on suit and Euro sizing in which case you can google a standard conversion chart. Anyhow, for most hunt coats you take a current jacket that fits you, lay it flat and measure across the front.
This is to say if you are a man who takes a 44 coat you would wear a 22 jacket. And if you are a woman with a size 40 bust (over your chest, not like undergarment fitting) then you wear a size 20. That's rough of course, your jacket will likely need tailoring once you get it to fit just you and if you are going to have it tailored and you are borderline, go up a size for safe measure. I've always got to get my sleeves let down because my arms a tad too long! If this is all too much trouble you can always have them custom made:

u mean hunter jumper? my jacket is like, a size 18 slim, other sizes are like 26, or if u are an adult small, ur an 18 (such as me) and then there are childrens larde, which is 16, but its almost like an adult, u need to go to a tack shop, (my grandma owns one called poney express!) and they will get u fitted, good luck!
if you not for sure about sizes you need to go to a local shop and look at the different sizes and styles and try them on. Because each shop's sizing maybe a little different.
Depends on the brands. RJ Classics run close to normal "street size" clothing. So if you wear size 4 dress, then you would wear size 4 coat. Elite and Grand Prix Coats are European sized, best to try one on at the tack store before you buy it. I don't know about the cheaper lines of coats like Devon Aire, Equine Athletics, etc.
A good website with lots of nice hunt coats on it is www.tackroominc.com
