Hello everyone,
Firstly, Happy New Year’s to all!
I’m in need of a little advice with regards to Platon’s sizing. Any input is much appreciated; thank you all in advance.
I have a 36” chest, 31” waist, and 43” shoulder circumference; accordingly, as per Platon’s sizing guide on his site, I should be a dead on size 36. (Ref #1)
However, his sizing guide says that if “your actual cross back (shoulder to shoulder) is between 17.5 and 18 inches”, then “the 18.5 inches shoulder span measurement that our size 44 jacket provides should fit you fine.”
This indicates to me that your jacket’s shoulder span measurement should be your shoulder to shoulder +0.5 inches.
If that’s the case, my 16.5 inch shoulder to shoulder would require a 17 inch shoulder span on the jacket. That would make me a size 38. (See Ref #2 & #3)
I have a feeling that the 36 would be too tight in the shoulders and that I should size up to 38; what do you all think? should I size up?
I’ve read all the other threads on the forum on this and it’s been consistently stated that sizing up was the way to go.
I’m on the short side and I’m really happy for the generally short cut on Platon’s Dubow.
Again, all input is appreciated and thank you again!
