Each coat exists in one size only.
The Pelèr coats are not a graded collection: each was cut from a single length of cloth, in the size written on its card. So the size is not chosen — it is checked. Below are the garment measurements, flat, in centimetres, and the way we take them.
Measured flat, in centimetres.
| Coat | Size | Length | Shoulder | Sleeve | Collar |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pelèr N° I | S/M | 80 | 40.5 | 63 with turn-back | 10 |
| Pelèr N° II | S/M | Seven-eighths | — | — | — |
| Pelèr N° III | M | — | — | — | 10 |
| Pelèr N° IV | S | Seven-eighths | — | — | — |
| Pelèr N° V | L | 96 | — | 61 | — |
Flat, not on the body.
Length runs from the base of the collar at the back down to the hem. Shoulder from seam to seam, across the front. Sleeve from the shoulder seam to the wrist, turn-back included where there is one. Collar is the height of the standing collar.
These are garment measurements, not body measurements: a coat always sits wider than the person wearing it.
Compare it to a coat you own.
The surest way: take a coat that fits you the way you like, lay it flat on the bed and measure the same points. If the numbers are close, the Pelèr will sit the same.
When in doubt write to us with your height and your usual size: we answer ourselves, with the exact measurement of that coat.
It adapts, nearly always.
Shortening a sleeve or a hem is an afternoon's work, and it is included. Tell us before you buy, or at the fitting in the atelier.
Buttons move, the collar takes in a little, initials are embroidered inside. Included as well.
If none of the five is your size, we start from nothing: the same cloth while it lasts, the same work, time and price agreed before cutting.
Ask before you buy.
A one-of-one coat is not chosen by eye. Write to us: we send the exact measurements, and if you are near Arco you can try it on.
