About Guide London: Guide London is a London menswear label. Guide Clothing Ltd started the brand in 1988. Shirts, jackets, coats, jersey and knitwear each have their own chest chart, and a shirt size is not the same cut as a jacket size. We have no sized pieces in at the moment. The table below is Guide London’s own jacket chart.
This is Guide London’s own jacket chart: each number is that chest in inches, with a centre-back length and a sleeve length beside it. Shirts use a chest range instead (S is 35–37 in), and coats, jersey and knitwear each have their own table. Sizes on our site come and go with stock.

Shirts and jackets are sized differently. Shirts are S to 3XL by a chest range (M is 38–40 in). Jackets are sized 36 to 52, and 38 means a 38 in chest. Coats, jersey and knitwear use letters, but each letter is a single chest measurement, closer to the jacket scale than to the shirt scale.
Medium. M is 38–40 in (96–102 cm). A 41 in chest is the start of Large.
By chest in inches, from 36 to 52, plus a centre-back length and a sleeve length on the official chart. Size 40 is a 40 in (101 cm) chest, with a 73 cm back length and a 66 cm sleeve.
There is no published rule. A chest that falls inside a shirt range takes that letter. If you land in a gap, or between two jacket numbers, we would try the larger one.
