Five Star Leather Jackets

The Five Star chart and instructions are confusing, however ignore the first jacket size column and look at the second ‘Suitable for Chest’ column, which is in red.
For example: If your chest measures 43-44 inches the chest size of the jacket is 48 ins and this will provide the 4-5 ins of space, which is also known as ‘ease’, to allow for a decent fit.

Of course, this all depends on how accurate Five Star actually are in making their jackets and whether they can work to all the exact measurements they state in their charts.

So if im looking in the red column, does that take into consideration my chest size when layered?

For example my chest size is 43 naked and 46 with a sweater. Should I order suitable for 46-47 which is a Large?

It’s unlikely any size chart would take into account layering because a manufacturer wouldn’t know what you intend to layer a jacket with or how thick it would be.
So, it would seem that all the red column figures are bare chest measurements and what size Cossack jacket you’re likely to be needing will all depend on what you intend to mainly wear underneath it.

If it’s t-shirts or shirts then based on the info and chart you’ve provided Five Star appear to be suggesting a size ‘S/40’ jacket. However, if it’ll be layered with sweaters then it looks you’d probably want an ‘L/44’

Of course, as said previously, all the above is only based on the info that Five Star supply and also that their jackets are accurately made, with the measurements of what you actually end up receiving being the same as in their size charts.
