Measure from the edge of your shoulder, along the outside of your relaxed arm, to your desired sleeve length.
How to Measure Your Body Armhole

With muscles relaxed, measure around the fullest part of your upper arm. Keep the tape snug with room for one finger.

Questions & Answers
Frequently asked questions about measuring yourself
How do I measure my bust, waist and length for a custom garment?
Use a flexible tape. For the bust, wrap it around the fullest part with the tape level. For the waist, measure the narrowest part, usually just above the belly button. For length, measure from the shoulder or natural waist down to your desired hem. Keep the tape level and snug with room for one finger, and measure over close-fitting clothing rather than bulky layers.
How do I measure my waist, hips, thighs and rise?
Measure the waist at the narrowest point, the hips around the widest part of your hips and seat, and the thigh around the fullest part of the upper leg. For the rise, sit down and measure from the front of your natural waist, down between your legs to the seat. Keep the tape level and snug throughout.
Where can I get my measurements taken?
Any local tailor or seamstress can take your measurements in a few minutes, and many fabric or bridal shops offer measuring too. You can also measure yourself at home with a flexible tape using this guide, or have a friend help with the back and shoulder measurements. Because we send a free test garment before cutting your final cloth, the fit is confirmed on your body regardless of who takes the first measurements.
What do I need to measure myself?
Just a flexible measuring tape, a mirror, and ideally a friend to help with the shoulder and back measurements. Wear close-fitting clothing so the tape sits against your body, and stand naturally with your weight even on both feet.
How tight should the measuring tape be?
Snug but not tight. The tape should sit flat against your body with just enough room to slip one finger underneath. Pulling it too tight gives measurements that are too small, and leaving it loose makes the garment baggy.
What if my measurements are not perfect?
That is exactly why we send a free test garment. Give us your best measurements, and we build a test version in a stand-in cloth to your numbers and ship it to you. You try it on, we adjust from there, and nothing is cut in your final fabric until the fit is confirmed.

A Women’s Short Peacoat That Never Fights the Car Seat
Long coats lose every fight with a car seat. They bunch under you, crease across the lap and climb up your back every time you sit down. A short peacoat skips the fight: it stops just below the waist, so you can drive, ride and sit through dinner in it and step out looking exactly as you did when you put it on.
This women’s short peacoat is our own screen-inspired version of the double-breasted coat from Quantum of Solace: ten buttons, a buttoned neck tab and a fitted waist, in a 95% wool and 5% cashmere blend, cut to your measurements with a canvas front and checked first in a free test coat.

On a Short Coat, the Hem Is Everything
On a short peacoat, two centimeters decide whether the hem covers the waistband of your trousers or stops in the wrong place. So the coat is made first in cotton, to your measurements: sit in it, raise your arms and check that the hem stays where it should.

Why Short
Why a Short Peacoat for Women Earns Its Place
Sitting and driving
Nothing to bunch under you or crease across the lap.
Proportion
A short pea coat shows the waist and leg line, so it flatters with trousers, jeans and skirts alike.
Walking
The hem never tangles with your stride or catches on stairs.
Layering
Room for a sweater under the double-breasted front.
The trade-off is that a short coat has nowhere to hide a poor fit. Princess seams shape it through the waist, so it never looks boxy, and the semi-belted back keeps it close. If you searched for womens short pea coat styles that do not look like a borrowed jacket, that is the difference.
Two Necklines
Buttoned to the Chin, or a V-Neck Short Peacoat
Buttoned up
The neck tab closes the collar to the chin against wind.
Open
Worn open, the wide lapels fall into a deep V.
One coat, two necklines. Fasten the top buttons and the neck tab and it becomes a high neck pea coat that seals out cold air. Leave them open and the wide notch lapels fold back into a v neck short peacoat that frames a shirt or a sweater. The screen-inspired James Bond peacoat look is the buttoned version; the open version is the easier one for dinner.
The peacoat back carries a buttoned half belt and a center vent, so it sits close at the waist but opens when you sit.
The Cloth
Wool and Cashmere at 14 oz
The cloth is 95% wool and 5% cashmere at about 14 oz. The wool gives warmth and structure, so the double-breasted front and the neck tab hold their shape; the cashmere softens the hand and gives a quiet luster. It is a cool-weather and winter weight, warm for its length.
Black is the default and the screen-inspired color. The same wool and cashmere also comes in navy, charcoal, camel and browns. If you want a longer, mid-thigh pea coat in Melton, see our women’s wool pea coat.

Questions & Answers
Questions About the Women’s Short Peacoat
Q. Is this the James Bond peacoat from Quantum of Solace?
A. No, it is our own screen-inspired women’s version of the Bond peacoat, with inspiration taken from Quantum of Solace. It is not official or licensed. It is a replica cut to your measurements in wool and cashmere.
Q. Can it be worn as a V-neck short peacoat?
A. Yes. Worn open at the top, the wide lapels fold into a deep V; buttoned with the neck tab, it closes to the chin. Most people wear it the first way in town and the second way in wind.
Q. How short is it?
A. It ends just below the waist as standard, shorter than a classic peacoat, which usually falls between the hip and mid-thigh. Enter a different length on the measurement form if you want it a little longer.
Q. Is a short peacoat practical?
A. Yes, especially if you drive or cycle. Nothing bunches under you when you sit, the hem never catches on stairs, and it shows the waist and leg line with trousers, jeans or skirts.
Q. Is it warm?
A. Yes, for its length. It is 95% wool and 5% cashmere at about 14 oz, double-breasted across the chest, with a neck tab that closes the collar.
Q. Does it come in other colors?
A. Yes. Black is the default; the same wool and cashmere comes in shades such as navy, charcoal and camel in the selector.
Q. How should a short peacoat fit?
A. It should close without pulling across the bust, sit close at the waist and end just below it, with room for a sweater underneath. The sleeves should still cover a sweater cuff when you bend your arms.
Q. Can I change details?
A. Yes. Write it in the comment box of the measurement form, or email us with your order number. Fewer buttons, no back belt or a longer hem are all possible.
Q. How do I measure without a tailor?
A. With a helper if possible. Alone, measure bust, natural waist and hips, then a jacket that fits you well across the shoulders; we can guide you by video call or WhatsApp.
Q. Can I see the wool and cashmere first?
A. Yes. Our swatch service sends up to four samples of about 2 by 4 inches. They usually arrive within 4 to 6 business days. Quote product number 7001008 and the colors you want to compare; the courier fee is credited toward your first order.
Q. How long will the peacoat take?
A. The cotton test coat is made in 3 to 4 weeks and reaches you 5 to 10 days after dispatch. The peacoat then takes 3 to 4 weeks and arrives 5 to 10 days after it ships.
Q. How do I care for it?
A. Dry clean only, and not often. Brush it after wearing and hang it on a shaped hanger so the lapels keep their roll.

Women’s Outerwear Fit Guide
A Coat Made to Fit You, and Everything You Wear Under It
A coat is a bigger commitment than most garments, you wear it over everything, everyone sees it, and it usually costs more, so it is natural to feel more nervous ordering one made to your measurements. The most common fear is simple: will it be roomy enough over a jumper, but still shaped and not a sack? With a made-to-measure coat you do not have to choose. There are no standard sizes, we cut it to your measurements with the right ease built in for layering, and a free test garment confirms the fit, over your usual layers, before your final cloth is cut. This page answers the worries that come with buying a coat you cannot try on yet.
How It Should Sit
The fit checkpoints, so you know what “right” looks like
Room for layers
A coat is cut with more ease than a jacket so it closes comfortably over a jumper or blazer without straining, while still keeping a shaped, tailored line rather than hanging like a box.
Shoulders
The shoulder seam sits at or just past the edge of your shoulder to allow for layers underneath, with no pulling. This is cut precisely to you.
Length
Your choice, from a cropped or mid-thigh cut to a full-length coat, drafted to your height so the proportion is right for your frame.
Sleeves
Cut a touch longer than a jacket so they cover your wrist and a shirt or jumper cuff, and sit correctly when your arms are down.
Every coat is made to your measurements with the ease built in for layering, in the length and fit you choose. A free test garment lets you confirm the fit over your usual layers before your final cloth is cut, and it is yours to keep.
Your Worries, Answered
The doubts most women have, and why you can relax
I am worried a custom-made coat will be too tight over my jumpers.
This is the most common coat worry, and it is exactly what we plan for. A coat is cut with more ease than a jacket precisely so it closes comfortably over your layers, and when you try the free test garment we ask you to put it on over the jumper or blazer you would normally wear underneath. If it feels at all snug, we add room before the final cloth is cut, so the finished coat is never tight over your usual layers.
A coat is a big spend. What if it arrives and it is wrong?
Nothing final, and nothing costly, is cut until you have approved the fit on the free test garment. You are not gambling a large sum on a coat you have never seen on your body; you are confirming the fit on a test version first, over your layers, and only then do we cut the real cloth. That is the whole point of the process, to take the risk out of the biggest, most visible piece in your wardrobe.
I have never been able to find a coat that fits my shoulders and my shape at once.
That is precisely who custom-made is for. Off-the-rack coats are cut to an average frame, so if your shoulders, bust, or height are not average, something is always wrong. We cut the shoulders, body, and length to your own measurements, so the coat fits your frame rather than a size, and the test garment confirms it before we commit to the final cloth.
I am nervous about measuring myself for something this important.
You do not need to get it perfect. Our guide takes you through each measurement, a friend or a local tailor can help, and you measure over light clothing so we can allow for layers ourselves. The free test garment is there to catch anything that is slightly off, we see the coat on your body and adjust, so a first-try measurement is completely fine.
How do I choose the right length without seeing it on?
Tell us the look you want, cropped, mid-thigh, knee, or full-length, and we draft it to your height so the proportion suits your frame. If you are unsure, a length that ends around the mid-thigh or knee flatters most people. The test garment then lets you see the length on your body and change it before the final coat is cut, so you are never guessing.
Will a fitted coat still look shaped, or will it end up boxy to fit the layers?
It stays shaped. We build in enough room for layers while still cutting a waist and a clean line, so the coat reads as tailored, not as a box. You choose how close or relaxed you want it, and the test garment lets you confirm that balance of room and shape on your own body.
What if my size changes, or I want to wear it over heavier layers in future?
Coats carry generous seam allowances, so a local tailor can adjust the body within reason if your shape changes. And because we cut with layering in mind and keep your measurements on record, you can tell us up front if you plan to wear it over heavy knits, and we allow for it.
The whole custom process feels intimidating. What actually happens?
It is simpler than it sounds. You choose the coat, cloth, and length and send your measurements; we make a free test garment and post it to you; you try it on over your layers and send notes and photos; we adjust and then cut and hand-tailor your final coat; and it ships to you with tracking. At no point are you committing to a finished coat you have not already seen fit on your body.
Chosen your fit? Browse women’s outwear, or message us with any questions. We build the free test garment first to confirm the fit on your body, and it is yours to keep.
