I've been searching the internet for a sizing chart for the Class A Service Jacket and I can't find one. Does anyone know where I can find one?

If not, i'm 5'4.

Coats and Jackets are sized by your chest size. If you're 5'7 you're the chest size and most likely small or regular.
Best way is to simply try one on, if you can't get to a clothing sales store go to a regular store and just try on jackets until you find one that fits. That's your size.

Grr.... it's Service Dress, not "Class A Service."

Where is everybody getting this Army terminology from?   ???

Go to a men's store, the men's section of a department store, or a tailor and have your chest measured for jacket size.  The inches around your chest, when properly measured, indicates your jacket size.  For example, 40" around your chest?  Jacket size 40.

Second, have your arms measured for length of the sleeves. Determine if you need Long, Short, Regular, etc. within your chest size.

The best way to determine what will fit you, however, will be just to try on the same jacket you'll be purchasing and see what fits you and what doesn't.  Ask people you know who have a Service Dress jacket to let you try it on for size.

Umm.....NHQ USCAP uses incorrect terminology on a daily basis for rank titles, abbreviations, etc etc etc......... E-Services has many such instances.

AS far as calling the blue service dress Class A's.....I was waiting for someone to make the correction.  I know "Class A" does not exist in the AF, but I think even some AF units use a classification system that uses that terminology, I have heard it.  AND CAP is not the AF, most units use the "class a" terminology.  Is it wrong, maybe.....but who cares as long as a person knows "Class A's" means blue service dress with jacket.
