Barbour Size Guide

Finding the right Barbour size is essential to ensure optimal comfort and a fit suited to your needs. Barbour clothing generally runs true to size, with enough room to wear an extra layer underneath.

How to take your measurements

  • Chest circumference: measure at the widest point, under the armpits, without tightening the tape measure.

  • Waist circumference: measure at the natural waistline, where the garment sits comfortably.

  • Arm length: measure from the shoulder to the wrist, with your arm slightly bent.

If you hesitate between two sizes, choose the larger one for a more comfortable fit, especially for jackets and coats.
