    Q: What size would you order if you are a 2xlt

    A: You''re probably a 50 or 52 inch chest. But, I would recommend getting your chest measured at a men''s clothing store.  Or, if you want to try it at home, watch this video and get the help of a second person.  Once you know your chest size, go one size larger.  For example, if you measure a 50" chest, I''d go with the 52 Tall.  If you measure a 52" chest, go with the 54" Tall in this jacket.
