Our unique drag sizes are based on U.S. Standard Men’s and Women’s Plus sizes, designed to fit male bodies with padding with an average height of 70 inches. They feature longer torsos, wider shoulders, arms, and legs, and a shorter crotch inseam compared to standard women’s sizing, making them inclusive for anyone matching the provided measurements.

Fabric & Notions

Use non-stretch fabrics—preferably thick materials to maintain structure. Add foam interfacing to the shoulders and collar for shape. Optional sleeve zippers should be at least 5 inches long.

Fabric Yardage

Find the required yardage by size in the chart below. If you're using two fabrics, Fabric A is for the main front, back, and sleeve pieces, while Fabric B is for the collar, facing, lapel, and cuffs. If you prefer to use only one fabric, refer to the "One Fabric" column instead. All yardage is based on fabric that is 54” wide or wider.
