Patagonia sizing guide: do their jackets run small?
Quick answer
Patagonia tops run about true to size but are cut for layering, so many wear their normal size with room for a midlayer. Slim styles run a touch snug; check the size chart per item.
Overview
| Cut | Advice | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Regular | Usual size | Room to layer |
| Slim | +0.5 to 1 | Close fit |
| Between | Size up | Layers |
Practical rules
- Size for your thickest layer if you wear one.
- Slim fits run snug; go up if between.
- Check the item chart; cuts vary.
