What does ‘chest tolerance’ mean?

  1. Outdoor and Country
  2. Product Info, Sizing and Fit
  3. Information

Chest tolerance is the additional space or allowance which is in addition to the advertised size of a garment. For instance a garment with a chest tolerance of 10 inches will measure about 10 inches greater than the advertised size, i.e. a size 40 will measure about 50 inches. Garments with a smaller chest tolerance are designed to be slimmer fitting.
