Alpha says the most common mistake men make when wearing jackets is wearing them too big. The second biggest mistake is wearing jackets too long. Aaron Marino demonstrates a simple way to detect if the jacket you’re buying is the right size.
He demonstrates the Thumb Test and explains too short, too long, and perfect. The Thumb Test won’t work in certain situations, like if you don’t have thumbs or if you have particular long or short arms. Otherwise, the Thumb Test is a sure-fire way to make sure you are purchasing the proper length for a blazer, suit jacket, or sport coat.
