EASE
When selecting the right size for your Resource Raglan, the first step is to measure your chest circumference at the widest point. This measurement will be used as a guide to help you choose a size from the 22 available options.

For a comfortable and relaxed fit, a loose rule of thumb is to choose a size that has 2 - 4 inches of positive ease. However, the amount of ease you prefer is entirely up to you and your personal style. Some people like a closer fit, while others prefer a looser fit. You might want to consider the drape of the fabric when considering ease as well. If you know you prefer a looser fit, consider 4 - 8 inches of positive ease. For a more fitted sweater, consider 0 - 2 inches of positive ease, or even negative ease.
