Find your perfect fit
Discover the ideal size for your Davidson Collection gilet. Our guide ensures a comfortable and stylish fit every time, designed with the UK wearer in mind.
Understanding our sizing
Our gilet jackets are designed to align as closely as possible with standard UK sizes. This means you can generally rely on the size you usually purchase for other UK tops. We've crafted our sizing for your convenience and confidence.
Measure for precision
To ensure the best fit, we highly recommend measuring your chest size. This is the most accurate way to determine which Davidson Collection gilet will suit you perfectly. Use a flexible tape measure and wrap it around the fullest part of your chest, just under your arms.
Fit considerations
Our gilets are uniquely designed for versatility. If you plan to wear your gilet over a shirt or a light top, your usual UK top size should provide a snug and smart fit. However, if you prefer to wear it over a thicker jumper or sweater, we recommend going one size up to ensure comfort and freedom of movement.
Avoid common sizing mistakes
Many customers wonder about the best size. For example, if you typically wear a UK medium T-shirt and prefer a snug fit, then a medium gilet (38-40 inch chest) is likely your best choice. I am 5'9" and weigh 12 stone, and a medium fits just about right. Most of our product images feature a medium-sized jacket to help you visualise the fit. Always consider how you intend to layer your gilet for the perfect outcome.
