A note on fit and ease

We cut some things close — the mockneck, the column — and some things with room. The oversized sweatshirt is not a mistake. It is a jacket you can wash.

Size for the job

If you layer a pullover under the overcoat, take the coat in your usual size. Oak & Thread cut it for that. If you wear the denim jacket over a heavy knit, size up.

Fit is not a number. It is whether you can raise an arm without the hem climbing.

• Raise both arms
• Sit down
• Check the back rise, not only the waist
