Our coats are designed to fit true to size with room for a sweater of medium thickness. If you regularly wear very thick sweaters or blazers underneath, consider sizing up. The XXS is engineered for women 5'1"–5'4" at a size 00/0. Most styles suit women 5'4"–6'. Individual coat lengths by size are on the full fit guide.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How warm is this black wool coat?

Our Southport, women's black wool coat is rated for 5°F to 35°F. It's fully lined, and the deep collar and horn snap closure reinforced with magnets keep the front sealed against wind. Paired with an optional belt this coat is meant to wrap you in warmth during a Chicago winter.

Does the Southport Coat run true to size?

Yes, with a slight A-line cut through the hips and room to layer a sweater underneath. This black wool coat boasts adjustable cuffs that can accommodate even the longest arms. If you are between sizes, or deciding between the Southport and one of our other lengths, the fit guide walks through the differences.

Does the Southport work for petite or plus size customers?

Petite customers under 5'4" often do well in our XXS, a true size 0. For a size 2 and up, we recommend ordering your usual size and trying it on before requesting a petite pattern adjustment, which is available for a fee. Plus sizing is available on the Southport in sizes ove 1X, email us for more information.

How is the Southport Coat different from your other black wool coats?

The Southport wool coat in black is a knee length coat that includes a belt with threaded belt loops, so you can cinch the waist for more shape or remove the belt from the loops for a cleaner, unbelted look. It's cut from 100% wool, RWS and NATIVA Regen certified, sourced from Shaniko Wool and woven at American Woolen in Connecticut, then cut and sewn in Chicago.
