Size Guide

French sizes are different from North American sizes, SO IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU TAKE THE TIME TO MEASURE YOUR CHEST SIZE in order to choose the right size.

Note:

• The fit is loose, typical of traditional workwear to facilitate movement. For a closer fit, consider sizing down. For example, at 6’2” (188 cm), a size 3 fits closer to the body, while a size 4 is roomier.
• To measure chest circumference, wrap a measuring tape around the widest part of your chest, under the armpits, keeping it snug but not tight. Lower your arms along your body to take the correct measurement.
