Hey guys, let’s cut to the chase today because I know what most of you really care about when you’re hunting for a new jacket: does it actually fit? I swear, I’ve lost count of how many DMs we get in the Different Sizes inbox that start with, “Quick question—do your jackets come in different sizes?” It’s such a fair ask, too. Like, who has time to scroll through a whole product page only to find out the only option is something that’s either tight enough to block your breathing room or so baggy it looks like you borrowed it from your little sibling? Spoiler alert for anyone still on the fence: yes, they do—but let’s break this down way more than a one-word answer. This isn’t just slapping three sizes on a tag and calling it a day; we actually spent months figuring out how to make sizes that don’t leave half our customer base hanging. Different Sizes
First off, let’s talk about why this question is way bigger than it sounds. A lot of clothing brands act like “different sizes” is a marketing buzzword, but when you actually dig into it, their size charts are garbage. I’ve seen brands where a “large” is a 38-inch chest and an “extra large” is a 40-inch chest—like, that’s not a size difference, that’s a rounding error! For people who don’t fit into the narrow, generic size boxes most companies rely on, that’s not just annoying—it’s alienating. If you’ve ever bought a jacket online that fit perfect on the hanger but felt like it was made for a kid once you unzipped it? Yeah, that’s exactly the stuff we were sick of dealing with when we launched Different Sizes. So we started by ditching that lazy, one-size-fits-none garbage and built our size system around real people, not random industry averages.
Let me walk you through how that works. When we were testing our jackets last year, we didn’t just have our design team pull measurements from a spreadsheet. We worked with over 200 people across all kinds of body types—from folks who wear a 2XS to someone who’s our largest XXXL, people with broad shoulders, people with longer torsos, even people who need space for layering under their jacket (looking at you, winter coat lovers who live in places where November feels like January). We asked every single one of them to wear test the prototype, send notes where it pinched, where it hung weird, if the sleeves were too long or too short. And we adjusted the sizes based on that, not what some fashion textbook said was “standard.”
For example, our casual everyday jacket—you know, the one made from that soft, water-resistant cotton blend—originally had sleeves that were a half-inch too short for people with average arm lengths. That sounds small, but when you’re reaching for a coffee mug or carrying a grocery bag, that half-inch difference makes your wrist feel like it’s being suffocated. We tweaked every size’s sleeve measurement by that exact half-inch, tested it again, and got zero complaints about sleeve length after that. Another one? Our puffer jacket for winter—people kept saying the torso was too tight when they layered a sweater and a flannel under it. So we added an extra two inches to the torso of sizes L and up, and even a little more on our larger sizes so they still look proportionate, not boxy.
Wait, let’s clear up another thing about sizes: it’s not just chest and shoulders, right? If you have a long torso, a jacket that hits at your waist is going to feel stupid. If you have a short torso, a jacket that’s too long will make your legs look shorter than they are. That’s why our size chart includes more details than you’d expect—we have neck, torso, arm, and hip measurements for every single size, not just a tiny line of numbers. Last month, we had a customer reach out saying she’s a size M but has a long torso, so normally jackets cut her off mid-waist. She checked our chart, ordered the size M, and messaged us saying it fit like it was custom made. That’s the stuff we live for, not just “another sale.”
I know some of you might still be thinking, “Okay, cool sizes, but do they actually stay consistent?” Because nothing’s worse than ordering the same size jacket you bought last year and it fitting completely different this time. We get that—we’ve all been there, right? I still have a hoodie from a big brand that was a medium in 2021 and a large in 2022, and I never figured out why. So for our jackets, we have a strict measurement standard across every single production run. No more cutting a size small one week at 17 inches across the chest and the next week at 16.5. Our pattern makers have a master measurement chart that every factory we work with has to follow exactly, and we do random spot checks on every shipment that comes in. Last quarter, we caught a factory cutting our XXL puffer an inch narrower than it’s supposed to be, sent it back, and fixed it immediately. Consistency isn’t just a word for us—it’s non-negotiable.
Now, let’s talk about common myths people have when they’re shopping for sizes. First myth: “If I’m between two sizes, I should size down.” That’s such old advice, and it’s garbage for jackets especially. Jackets are supposed to have a little room—you need space to move, to layer, to not feel like you’re stuffed into a sleeping bag. Our rule is: if you’re between sizes, size up unless you’re 100% sure you want that super slim fit (and even then, hit us up first, we’ll give you our specific tip for that style). A lot of brands push sizing down to make their clothes look slimmer on models, but that’s not real life. Second myth: “All brands’ sizes are the same.” Nope. We’ve had customers who wear a large at Brand A, a medium at Brand B, and a large at ours. Every brand’s size system is different, which is why our size chart is front and center on every product page—no hiding it at the bottom of a FAQ like most brands do. We even put little notes under each size for specific styles, like, “This bomber jacket runs a little slimmer, size up if you prefer a relaxed fit” so you don’t have to guess.
Wait, also—what if you still mess up? Let’s be real, no size system is perfect, and sometimes online shopping misses the mark. We have a 30-day return and exchange policy that’s actually easy to use, not the “pay $20 to return it and hope they accept it” policy most big brands have. If you order a jacket, try it on, and it’s not the right size, just shoot us a message, we’ll send a pre-paid label, no questions asked, and get you the correct size within a week. Last winter, we had a guy order a winter coat, sized up like we told him, but it was a little too big in the torso. He exchanged it for the size he’d been eyeing, and left a review saying he’s never had a brand that made returns that simple. That’s the kind of customer experience we care about—no hoops to jump through, no runaround.
I also want to touch on why this matters so much for our community. When we started Different Sizes, we didn’t want to be another brand that only caters to a tiny slice of people. So many of our customers are people who’ve struggled to find jackets that fit them their whole lives—maybe they’re a plus-size person who can’t find a jacket that doesn’t gap at the buttons, or a tall person who’s tired of sleeves that end before their wrist, or a person who’s built differently and generic sizes just don’t work. We’ve had customers tell us that for years, they’ve had to buy jackets online just to take them to a tailor to get adjusted, which adds time and money they shouldn’t have to spend. That’s why we poured so much work into getting the sizes right—so you don’t have to do that.
Let’s wrap this up, because I know a lot of you are here for the straight answer, not a novel (though this turned into one, oops). To circle back to the original question: yes, our jackets come in way more sizes than the basic 3 you see at most stores. We carry sizes 2XS to XXXL, with consistent measurements across every run, designed for real people’s bodies, not marketing averages. We have detailed size charts on every product page, we give specific tips for each style on sizing, and we make returns/exchanges easy if something doesn’t work.
If you’re ready to check out our sizes and find a jacket that actually fits you, don’t overthink it—just reach out to our team to chat through whatever questions you have, whether it’s double-checking measurements, asking about layering room, or even just confirming that a specific style works for your body type. We’re here to help, not just make a sale.
Like I said earlier, we built Different Sizes because we were sick of clothing brands ignoring half the population, and sizes that fit should be non-negotiable, not a luxury. So go take a look at our collection, peep the size charts, and if you have any questions, hit us up—we’d love to help you find a jacket that fits like it was made just for you.
