How to Measure a CHANEL Jacket for UK Customers｜Actual Size Guide
Why Actual Measurements Matter for CHANEL Jackets For Hong Kong customers
When choosing a CHANEL jacket online, the tag size alone is not enough to understand how the jacket will actually fit.
Even with the same size label, the actual fit can vary depending on the collection, season, design, fabric, and shoulder construction.
For customers in Hong Kong, comparing your own jacket with the actual measurements on the Hong Kong product page can help you judge the fit more clearly before purchasing from Japan.
At TC JAPAN, each item is measured individually while checking the silhouette and balance when worn. For CHANEL jackets, shoulder width and bust width are especially important points when choosing the right size.
Please prepare a jacket from your own closet that fits you well.
Lay it flat and measure the shoulder width, bust width, sleeve width, and jacket length using the methods below.
By comparing those numbers with the actual measurements listed on the product page, it becomes much easier to imagine the fit beyond the tag size.
① How to Measure the Shoulder Width of a CHANEL Jacket For Hong Kong customers
Shoulder width should not be measured simply as a straight line from one seam to the other. Instead, measure along a gentle curve, using the points where your actual shoulder corners would sit as the starting and ending points.
On CHANEL jackets, the seam line between the body and the sleeve can vary greatly depending on the design. If you rely only on that seam line, the measurement may not match the actual fit on the body.
| Type | How the seam line appears | If measured by the seam line |
|---|---|---|
| Type A | The seam line between the body and sleeve spreads outward beyond the actual shoulder point. | The measurement may become wider than where the shoulder actually sits. |
| Type B | The seam line between the body and sleeve sits closer to the neck than the actual shoulder point. | The measurement may become narrower than where the shoulder actually sits. |
For both Type A and Type B, the important point is not to use only the seam line between the body and the sleeve as the measurement guide.
Measure from the left and right points where your actual shoulder corners would sit. This makes it easier to understand the shoulder width in a way that is closer to the real fit when worn.
Type A: the actual shoulder point sits closer to the neck than the seam line
Do not use the seam line between the body and the sleeve as the guide. Use the actual shoulder points as the starting and ending points, and measure along a gentle curve.
Type B: the actual shoulder point sits outside the seam line
In this case as well, do not rely on the seam line. Use the actual shoulder points on both sides as the measurement guide, and measure along a gentle curve.
② How to Measure the Bust Width of a CHANEL Jacket For Hong Kong customers
Close the buttons and lay the jacket flat.
Smooth out any wrinkles and measure straight across from underarm to underarm.
If the jacket is wrinkled or the fabric is pulled while measuring, the number may become larger than the actual fit.

④ How to Measure Sleeve Width of a CHANEL Jacket For Hong Kong customers
Measure the sleeve width at a right angle from the underarm seam.
⑤ How to Measure the Length of a CHANEL Jacket For Hong Kong customers
Measure the length from the center of one shoulder width down to the hem.
Final Note For Hong Kong customers
CHANEL jackets cannot be judged by the tag size alone.
At minimum, comparing the shoulder width and bust width of your own jacket with the actual measurements on the product page will help you understand the fit more clearly.
