How to measure yourself

Men's Jacket and Coat Sizes

The best way to take your chest measurement is over a lightweight shirt, close but not tight. Please do not allow for thicker clothing, as we allow for this.

This is the measurement we prefer as this is the most accurate.

If you are buying a surprise present and do not know the exact chest size, a good idea is to find a jacket that fits the person well and button it up, then measure from armhole to armhole. This measurement is always 6" bigger than the persons actual chest size.
For example if the measurement is 24", this doubles to 48", you then subtract 6" giving an actual chest size of 42".

If you are in any doubt about sizes, please ring our helpline.

Ladies Jacket and Coat Sizes

For ladies, we do not use sizes 8, 10, 12 and upwards as these are not very accurate.

The best way to take your bust measurement is over a lightweight blouse, close but not tight. Please do not allow for thicker clothing, as we allow for this.

If you are buying a surprise present and do not know the exact bust size, a good idea is to find a jacket that fits the person well and button it up, then measure from armhole to armhole. This measurement is always 6" bigger than the persons actual bust size.
For example if the measurement is 21", this doubles to 42", you then subtract 6" giving an actual bust size of 36".

If you are in any doubt about sizes, please ring our helpline.

Trouser and Skirt Sizes

Measure around your waist, just inside where you like to wear the top of your trousers. Make sure the tape is snug but not over tight.

Hat Sizing
An average head size for a man is 23" (58.5 cms in European Sizing or 7 1/8 UK sizing and 7 1/4 US sizing). The average head size for a lady is 22 1/2" (57 cms in European Sizing or 7 UK sizing and 7 1/8 US sizing).
How to measure your head

Take a tape and measure around the widest part of your head, slightly above the ears (usually around the temple). This should be close but not too tight.

There is no problem whatsoever if you are not satisfied with your purchase, for any reason. When we send you your order, we enclose a simple letter detailing exactly how to return the order to us. When we receive it, we refund the full cost (excluding the delivery charge) to your Credit Card and send you a note by post saying we have done so, usually within 24 hours.

WARNING!
Due to the falling value of the pound, all prices are due to rise as most sheepskin and leather skins come from overseas.
Although Higgs Leathers carries large stocks, as we sell out of various styles the new stock is likely to be at higher prices.
Please order as soon as possible to avoid the inevitable price increases.
