measurement “b” = top of shoulder to bottom cuff (almost identical to zipper length). these measurements are for general reference only and may not be exact.

5’9" (175 cm) to 6’5" (196 cm):

  1. -if you want your jacket pretty tall and baggy, get the XL

  2. -if you want your jacket super tall (or if you’re taller than 6’4”), get the XL-Tall

  3. -if you want your pants super baggy or need a larger waist, get the XL.

  4. -if you want a less baggy look for your pants, get the large.


  1. -5’4" (158 cm) to 5’9" (175 cm):

- if you want your pants pretty baggy, get the large. otherwise, get the medium.

  1. -if you want the jacket to fit big and tall, get the large. if you are on the shorter side of this range and don’t want the jacket to be huge, get the medium suit.


- Under 5’4" (158 cm):

- get the medium, or even the small. compare to gear you already own. we recommend the size small for people 4’5” to 5’0” (if you’re in the shorter part of that range it will be baggier, and if you’re in the taller part of that range it will be less baggy).


we know these ranges seem big, but there are a few things that allow for this:

  1. -1. nice, long sleeves accommodate lots of heights and arm lengths.

  2. -2. adjustable bib pants allow bagginess and length of pants to vary greatly.

  3. -3. FD fits larger and taller than most other companies, especially in the larger sizes.
