As per Amazons size guide I ordered a size down and as such the garment ended up being just a little too small, like I couldn’t have anything other than a shirt underneath before it would be too tight. Maybe it’s the quarantine weight, maybe the sizings are to blame, maybe he’s born with it, but I would consider myself a relatively average weight with a larger frame. If that sounds like you, I would order your regular size, especially if you want to layer it.
Having spoken to their very helpful customer service team and organised an exchange I’m happy to say that the sizing issue has been resolved. At time of review I have sent the prepaid package back and awaiting the newer, larger vest. Would recommend their shop.

How customer reviews and ratings work
Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings, help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyses reviews to verify trustworthiness.

Small fits a 36/38 chest perfectly, I would’ve gone for a Medium but lucky I took a small as the Medium maybe too loose/big for the look I’m going for, the Small still has room for a sweater and the perfect look with a Tee or Shirt.

ordered in size L as reviews say it runs big (I normally wear XL) - the vest is very short in the body (I am 6ft 2 so not a giant) and also very wide. I would probably need a M but didn't bother exchanging as so short.

Bought this for my son. We checked the sizing of the vest , but when it arrived it swamped him. We ordered a medium and it was far too large. Very disappointed and would not buy from seller again.

I ordered this product as found this seller had the best price. When it arrived, it was actually a bigger fit than expected. Returning this back to the seller was very easy (and free) I was kept updated via messaging and had a new size sent back out in a few days, which now fits perfectly. Great product and great seller.

A well made and hard wearing gilet as always with this brand.
UK buyers always go a size down when buying Carhartt. Be warned.
