Moorer Sizing Guide: Jackets, Coats and Vests

A MooRER down jacket is built for winters like ours: goose down, Italian cloth and cuts that look sharp over a suit. It is also an investment you will wear for many seasons, so the size has to work with everything you put underneath.

Search "does Moorer run small" and you will find opposite answers. One retailer says the coats are true to size and designed for layering. Another says to size up across the board. This Moorer size guide explains why both can be right and how to choose for your own wardrobe. Know your size already? Shop MooRER.

Moorer size chart (men)

MooRER labels men's outerwear, vests and knitwear in Italian sizes. To get your Canadian or US jacket size, subtract 10. Chest ranges below are body measurements from the standard Italian chart published by LookSize.

Letter equivalents follow UK retailer Robert Old. We carry MooRER jackets and vests from size 48 to 62.

Does Moorer run small?

It depends on the model, which is why online advice conflicts.

• Robert Old says MooRER coats "generally fit true to size" and are designed to be worn over knitwear or tailoring.

• Tellar says puffers often run small in the shoulders and chest, and recommends sizing up for layering.

We checked how MooRER describes its own pieces. On moorer.clothing, among product descriptions that name a fit, "regular fit" appears 13 times and "relaxed fit" 11 times, while "slim fit" appears only 4 times (checked 25 October 2026). So most of the range is cut with room. The slim models are the ones that feel small.

Our rule: read the fit in the product description first. Regular or relaxed fit: take your usual size. Slim fit, or a short bomber: consider one size up if you will wear more than a shirt underneath.

Moorer down jackets and puffers

Down jackets are where size matters most. Down needs space to loft: a jacket that is tight across the back compresses the fill and keeps you less warm.

• Over a shirt or fine knit: your usual size.

• Over a chunky sweater or a blazer: try one size up, especially in shorter, slimmer puffers.

• Hooded parkas usually have more room in the body but stay fitted in the shoulder. Check the shoulder first.

Moorer coats (wool, cashmere and padded)

Longer coats in wool or cashmere, including padded versions, are cut closer to tailoring. Take your usual Italian suit size. If you plan to wear the coat over a suit jacket every day, make sure you can cross your arms without the back pulling. Not sure which style suits your week?

Moorer vests (gilets)

Vests are the easiest piece to size. Take your usual size whether you wear the vest over knitwear or under a coat. Sizing up a vest makes it hang off the shoulders and lose its shape. If you plan to wear it under a jacket, check the jacket's armholes can take the extra layer.

Moorer bombers and short jackets

Short jackets and bombers are cut close to the body and end at the hip. If you are between sizes or want room for a hoodie, take the larger one. Shop all men's jackets.

How to measure your chest at home

1. Wear a thin shirt and stand relaxed.

2. Wrap a soft tape around the fullest part of the chest, under the arms and across the shoulder blades.

3. Keep the tape level and snug, not tight. Read it in inches.

4. That number is roughly your Canadian jacket size. Add 10 for your MooRER size.

Even better: lay a winter jacket that fits you well flat, measure across the chest from armpit to armpit, and double it. Email the number to hello@originalluxury.ca and we will compare it with the MooRER piece you like.

The 5-point try-on test

Use this when your MooRER arrives, wearing the layers you will actually wear in January.

1. Shoulders: the seam ends at your shoulder bone, not past it.

2. Hug test: cross your arms. The back should not feel tight across the shoulder blades.

3. Sleeves: with arms stretched forward, cuffs still cover your wrist bone.

4. Zip: fully closed, the front lies flat with no pulling between snaps or zip teeth.

5. Length: parkas and coats should cover your seat when you sit in the car.
