Please note: This is my menswear size chart. But this is a gender neutral style and I’m sure a range of bodies will wear this. So when looking at this size chart, please focus on the chest measurement when choosing your size. If in doubt, check the finished garment measurements below.
This pattern has been drafted for a height of 5'10. It’s recommended to make a toile first in an inexpensive fabric to work out any fitting alterations you may need, before cutting into your chosen fabric. Finished Garment Measurement: See chart in images
