Hanger sizing trips up more people than almost anything else we sell, and that's completely normal. Working from a size chart, a garment measurement, or an existing hanger are all reasonable ways to guess, but none of them are foolproof from a distance, we can't see or feel your specific garment. Below is our full size chart, followed by a few different ways to make the call, plus what to do if you still end up wanting a different size.
| Size | Width | Matches |
|---|---|---|
| SmallS | 15.0" | 14–14.5" neck, 34–36" chest |
| MediumM | 17.0" | 15–15.5" neck, 38–40" chest |
| LargeL | 19.0" | 16–16.5" neck, 42–44" chest |
| Extra-LargeXL | 21.0" | 17–17.5" neck, 46–48" chest |

Same size breakpoints as suit hangers, but a much smaller 0.75" flare, worth a look for narrow shoulders.
▶ Watch: How to Choose the Correct Hanger Size for Your Suits
There's more than one valid way to land on the right hanger size. Pick whichever fits how much time and information you have.
The fastest approach: use the size chart above and match it to your suit, jacket, or shirt size. For suits and jackets, that means your US jacket size (38, 40, 42, and so on). For shirts and sweaters, match it to the size you'd normally wear (Small, Medium, Large).
The catch: a size 40 jacket from one brand can fit noticeably differently than a size 40 from another, cut, country of origin, and even the decade it was made all affect it. This method gets you in the right neighborhood fast, but it's the least precise of the three if your wardrobe spans a lot of different brands.
Lay the garment flat, buttoned or zipped, and measure straight across the back from shoulder seam to shoulder seam. This is a good way to sanity-check Method 1, though keep in mind a garment lying flat doesn't always measure the same as it sits on a body or a hanger, so treat it as a strong estimate rather than an exact science.
The 2.5" shoulder flare on our suit and jacket hangers is fixed, we can't reduce it for a given size. If your shoulders run narrow, even the Small suit hanger may push too far into the sleeve.
In that case, our travel hanger (0.75" flare, see the chart above for sizing) or a sweater hanger (1.15" flare) are worth considering instead.
If you already have a hanger that fits a similar garment well, this is the simplest way to translate that into our sizing. Measure it tip to tip (the full width across the shoulders), then match that number to the closest size in the chart above.
This works especially well if you're replacing a wire or plastic hanger with one of ours for the same garment, you already know it holds the shoulders correctly.
Every method above is a way of making the best possible call without seeing your garment in person, that's a real limitation, not a failure on your part if the size ends up being off. It's common to need a different size once a hanger is actually in hand. If that happens, we're glad to help you exchange for the correct one. See our full return & exchange policy for how that works.
