Jack is interested in the Anejo Racer Jacket. He mentioned that he is 1.75 m tall, weighs 77 kg, and has an athletic build. Should we recommend a Medium size in Athletic Fit?

• TRUE

• FALSE

Answer explanation

It's helpful when customers know their body measurements, as it makes it easier for us to assist them. However, it's still best to recommend sizing based on the jackets they currently own. Let's respond by asking for the sizes of their current jackets.

Orion is interested in the Shadow Grey Men’s Classic Leather Belt to match his Grey boots. He has a 33-inch waist and asked for a recommendation. Should we respond by asking for his pant size instead, as this provides a better recommendation than waist size for men’s belts?

• TRUE

• FALSE

Answer explanation

As a general rule for belt sizing: recommend using pant size for men and waist size for women.

Leticia is looking to purchase the Tailored Women's Racer Jacket and is unsure about the size. She provided the following information: 36C chest, size 29 waist, unsure of hip measurement, 165 pounds, 5'9 1/2" height, with long arms, and a pear-shaped body. Do we recommend the Medium Tailored fit in Women's Racer Jacket?

• TRUE

• FALSE

Answer explanation

This is another case where the customer knows specifically their body measurements. Our next recommendations should be easier but we have to start by asking the sizes of their jackets that they currently own.

Yi Sun Shin is interested in the Black Vintage Roadster Jacket. In your first response, you mentioned that the best reference for sizing would be the sizes of jackets he currently owns. He replied that he doesn't have any jackets and instead asked for the following measurements: jacket length, chest width, shoulder width, and sleeve length. No problem, we can provide that information!

• True

• False

Answer explanation

Yes, we can! Let's use the measurements below sparingly and only provide this information when the customer specifically requests them. Also, let's inform the customer that there is a 0.3 - 0.7 inches tolerance for the measurements.
