When it comes to finding a high-quality, sustainably produced men's parka from LangerChen, with or without a hood, choosing the right size is crucial. To ensure you feel completely comfortable in your new garment and that the parka is both functional and fashionable, you should know your exact body measurements before purchasing. Our size guide shows the most important measurements relevant for determining your size. These are shoulder width, chest circumference, and sleeve length.
1. Shoulder width
Shoulder width is measured from the outermost point of the left shoulder to the outermost point of the right shoulder—ideally across the highest point of the shoulder bones. This indicates how well the parka fits in the shoulder area. A cut that's too narrow restricts freedom of movement, while one that's too wide looks shapeless.
2. Chest circumference
Chest circumference is a crucial factor for the fit. It is measured by placing the tape measure horizontally around the fullest part of the chest. LangerChen men's parkas are designed with a comfortable width that allows for good air circulation even when the jacket is zipped up.
3. Sleeve length
Sleeve length is measured from the highest point of the shoulder to the end of the sleeve. Especially with wind and weatherproof men's parkas, it's important that the sleeves are the right length to cover the wrists even when moving. Sleeves that are too short allow cold air to penetrate and reduce functionality.
4. Back length
You can also measure the back length of your new sustainable men's parka from the LangerChen brand. This length is measured from the middle of the neck to the bottom of the jacket hem. Parkas are cut longer than regular jackets and should fully cover the backside. This provides optimal protection from wind and cold.

Fit of LangerChen men's parkas
The GOTS-certified men's parkas from our LangerChen brand, with or without hoods, are characterized by urban minimalism and technical functionality. All men's models are made from breathable, wind- and water-repellent materials. Organic cotton and recycled fibers guarantee not only comfort but also sustainability. The cuts of LangerChen men's parkas are predominantly straight to slightly oversized, ensuring comfortable freedom of movement, even when wearing thicker clothing underneath.
Therefore, when comparing your measurements with the size chart below, make sure you allow enough leeway, especially regarding chest circumference and sleeve length . If you're between two sizes, we recommend choosing the larger size. This is especially true if you plan to wear a sweater or quilted vest under the men's parka.
