Alan Paine Size Guide
Finding the right Alan Paine size allows you to choose a comfortable fit that is suited to your needs, whether for shooting, countrywear, or everyday outfits. Alan Paine collections offer several fits, with a clear distinction between Classic Fit and Shooting Fit depending on the level of ease desired.
How to take your measurements
- Chest: measure at the widest point, under the arms, without pulling the tape measure tight.
- Waist: measure at the hollow of your waist, where the garment naturally rests.
- Hips: measure at the widest point of the hips for trousers and skirts.
- Neck: for shirts, measure around the neck while keeping one finger between the tape and your skin.
- Sleeve length: measure from the shoulder to the wrist, with your arm slightly bent.
If you are between two sizes, choose the larger one for a more comfortable fit, especially if you are wearing an extra layer underneath.

Fit advice
Alan Paine mainly distinguishes between two levels of ease: Shooting Fit, which is more generous to allow for movement and layering, and Classic Fit, which is closer to the body while remaining comfortable.
For a jacket worn over a thin shirt, take your usual size; for shooting or country use with a jumper or waistcoat, choose the size above if you are in doubt.
