How to Measure

Standard Measurements

Bust
Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest, parallel to the floor. Keep it snug but not tight. Measure over a light layer.

Waist
Measure around your natural waist — the narrowest part of your torso, usually an inch or two above your belly button.

Hip
Measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat, usually 7–9 inches below your natural waist, parallel to the floor.

Shoulder — Across the Back
With your arms relaxed at your sides, measure straight across the back from the edge of one shoulder to the other — from shoulder tip to shoulder tip. This is the measurement most likely to determine your size if you are between two sizes. A coat that fits at the shoulder will fit everywhere else. Please note, shoulder across back measurements are very different from shoulder across front measurements.

Sleeve Length — CB Neck to Wrist

Stand with your arm relaxed at your side, elbow slightly bent.

Place the tape at the prominent bone at the center back of your neck — where your neck meets your shoulders.

Run it across the top of your shoulder, down the outside of your arm, to your wrist bone.

We measure sleeve length from CB neck — not the shoulder seam — so your measurement matches our chart directly.

Coat Length — CB Neck to Hem

Stand straight with feet together.

Place the tape at the same prominent bone at the center back of your neck.

Run it straight down your back to where you'd like the coat to fall.

Individual coat lengths by size are on the full fit guide — helpful for visualizing where each style lands on your frame.

Beautiful Coat

I absolutely love this coat! The quality exceeded my expectations, it is beautifuly made, warm, and feels incredibly comfortable to wear. I would not hesitate to buy another coat from the Checkroom. The customer service was exceptional.

Beautiful item

The swing coat is a beautiful item! While it is called a coat, I have worn it in the office over long sleeve tops paired with jeans (MN winters allow for things like this!). Will be lovely to actually wear it as an outerwear coat as winter departs and for next autumn! Great, easy-wearing design and the magnetic closure is a fantastic detail. Purchased an XL in camel. Proportions work well for my height of 5'4" (often larger size designs are made for taller people making odd fit for shorter people). The sleeve and coat length and design work well for an array of heights.

Swing coat

Beautiful color and fabric! Well constructed. Loved the hidden magnet closure!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a swing coat?

A swing coat is a coat that is fitted at the shoulders, with a full, swingy, generous hem. Swing coats have ample room and drape through the body, making them a great choice for pregnant women or women who love a vintage look.

How warm is this black swing coat?

The Oakley is rated for 30°F to 50°F, so it's built for fall and the milder stretches of a Chicago winter rather than the coldest days. It's fully lined, which adds warmth without weighing down the flared shape.

Does the Oakley run true to size?

Some women are able to size down in this coat due to it's generous fit. The fit of this coat happens mostly at the shoulders, so women with a broad shoulder should stay true to size, whereas women with a smaller shoulder can size down.

How does the Oakley close?

A single magnetic closure at the bust holds the coat shut, which keeps the front clean and uncluttered and lets the flared shape do the work.

What is the Oakley Swing Coat made from?

The Oakley Swing Coat is cut from 100% wool, RWS certified, domestic fiber to finish, sourced from Shaniko Wool and woven at American Woolen in Connecticut, then cut and sewn in Chicago.
