Question: Should I order my usual size or size down?
It depends on your preferred fit:
Choose your regular size if you:
- Plan to wear multiple layers underneath
- Prefer a relaxed, comfortable fit
- Want maximum movement flexibility
Consider sizing down if you:
- Prefer a more streamlined silhouette
- Usually wear minimal layers
- Like a closer-fitting jacket
Question: I’m between sizes – what should I do?
Given the generous cut of our jacket, we recommend choosing the smaller of the two sizes for an optimal fit. The jacket will still provide plenty of room for light layering while maintaining a smart appearance.
Question: Will sizing down affect the jacket’s functionality?
No – our jacket is designed to maintain full functionality and weather protection regardless of whether you choose your regular size or size down. The difference is purely in the silhouette and amount of layering space.
Question: How does this jacket fit compared to other brands?
Our jacket is designed with a relaxed contemporary fit that’s slightly more generous than standard sizing. This thoughtful design allows comfortable layering and unrestricted movement during activities.
Question: How much room is there for layering?

- A thick winter jumper
- Multiple thin layers
- Base layer plus mid layer
If you size down:
- A light jumper or single base layer
