Does Mackage run small or true to size?

Mackage is close to true to size on paper, but the cut is slim. The Gray Details, a style blog that reviewed several Mackage coats, wrote that the coats "run a bit small" and the sleeves run slim. That reviewer sized up for room to layer.

Styled by Science found the fit changes by coat. Calla is the most fitted, and Farren is semi fitted.

Some Farren buyers say it runs small, and the Shia wool coat ran small too.

The product notes say it too. On 2 November 2026, the Dixon-BX bomber said "Designed to be worn with heavier layers", while the Phillip said "Regular fit".

A Mackage that fits in the store in a T-shirt is a size too small in January.

Mackage men's size chart: what 38, 40 and 42 mean

Men's down coats come in numbers from 34 to 48. Those numbers are close to chest in inches, so they work like a suit size.

So a Mackage 40 is a men's medium, and a 38 is a small. A Mackage 42 is a large. Italian sizing runs 10 higher, so IT 52 and Mackage 42 are the same coat.

Some lighter men's pieces, like the Andrew-ZZ and Fletcher bombers, use S to XL instead.

If a women's Mackage is listed as 38, that is the Italian size, which is an XS.

How to pick your Mackage size, coat by coat

Read the fit line first, then the temperature rating. On 2 November 2026, the Mackage pieces on within said this:

• The men's Dixon-BX bomber is rated to -25°C and "Designed to be worn with heavier layers". Size for the sweater you will wear under it.
• The women's Shyla-NFZ parka is rated to -25°C and semi fitted. Size up if you sit between sizes.
• The women's Nefi-BXZ bomber is rated to -20°C with a relaxed fit. Take your usual size.
• The men's Francis is rated to -10°C with an oversized fit. Take your usual size, or one down for a closer look.
• The men's Phillip is a light down jacket rated to -5°C with a regular fit. Your usual size works as a layer under a shell.

Fitted down and a heavy sweater fight each other. If the coat is your main winter coat, go one size up from your T-shirt size. If it is a light layer, stay true to size.
