Step 1: Measure your chest with the tape measure underneath your arms, across the shoulder blades, and over the largest part of your chest. The chest measurement is usually the size of the coat. You may add 1 inch to the measurement for a more relaxed fit.
Step 2: Measure the over-arm with the tape measure around your shoulders with your arms down. Read the number you get and subtract 7 inches. For instance, if the measurement you get on the over-arm is 49 inches, subtract 7 to get 42 (49 - 7 = 42).
The over-arm measurement is important particularly if it is larger than the chest measurement. In this instance, you will need to fit your chest and upper-arm rather than rely simply on the chest measurement alone. For instance, if your chest measurement is 40 inches and the over-arm measurement is 49 inches (remember: subtract 7 from the over-arm measurement), you likely will want to start with a size 42 coat to accommodate your larger upper arms and shoulder width.
Select the length of your coat and sleeves based on your height in proportion to your measured size.

It is best to do a tailored fitting if you do not
already know your coat size and coat size option.
