Quick Answer
For a classic varsity fit, choose your regular jacket size based on chest and sleeve measurements. The Reflection Varsity Jacket runs true to size, but if you prefer a roomier layering fit, consider going up one size.
Why Sizing Matters for This Jacket
The Reflection Varsity Jacket is a reprint of a popular Celeste collection piece, featuring a full back print and a smaller strawberry design on the front chest. A proper fit ensures the print sits correctly and the jacket looks intentional rather than oversized or too tight.
Varsity jackets have a naturally boxy silhouette, so the fit should feel relaxed through the body without being baggy. Sleeve length is especially important because the ribbed cuffs should hit at your wrist bone, not past your knuckles.
Common Fit Mistake: Ignoring Sleeve Length
Many people focus only on chest size and end up with sleeves that are too long or too short. Since varsity jackets have set-in sleeves, altering sleeve length after purchase is difficult. Always measure your sleeve length from the center back of your neck to your wrist before ordering.
How to Find Your Size in 4 Steps
- Measure Your Chest: Wrap a measuring tape around the fullest part of your chest, keeping it level under your armpits. Round up to the nearest inch. This is your primary size reference for the jacket. Do not add extra inches for ease—varsity jackets already include wearing ease in the cut.
- Measure Your Sleeve Length: Start from the center back of your neck, go across your shoulder, and down to your wrist bone. Keep your arm slightly bent. Compare this number to the jacket's sleeve length measurement on the size chart. If your sleeve length falls between sizes, choose the larger size to avoid short sleeves.
- Check the Shoulder Width: Measure from shoulder seam to shoulder seam across your back. The jacket's shoulder seam should sit right at the edge of your shoulder bone, not hanging off or digging in. A shoulder seam that falls past your shoulder bone means the jacket is too wide, even if the chest fits.
- Try It On With Layers: If you plan to wear a hoodie or thick sweater underneath, size up one from your chest measurement. The jacket should close comfortably without pulling across the chest or restricting arm movement. If the jacket feels snug when zipped with a layer underneath, it's too small—don't expect it to stretch out.
