WRIGHT-TATTERSALL | DARK GREY

Ted Baker's menswear tops run small and slim — owners consistently size up — while women's numbered pieces skew generous, with bottoms the most likely to run big.

Owners agree the menswear shirts and polos cut slim and small: forum posters call the shirts "on the small side and quite a slim waist," and a golf reviewer who normally wears a medium found a Ted Baker large (size 4) "perfect." The women's side is less uniform: one long-term buyer says the numbered sizing is "on the generous side" (a 3 wearing like a UK 12/14), while forum threads split — tops reported small, trousers and skirts reported big, jackets and dresses roughly true to size. The brand's own 0–7 numeric scales add friction, so checking the per-item conversion chart matters more here than with most brands.

Sizing advice: Size up one in men's shirts, polos, and tees (the cut is slim and small); on women's pieces stay true to size for dresses and jackets but consider a size down in trousers, skirts, and knits.

Owners report the wool coats as the strongest part of Ted Baker's jacket range: one detailed review measured a shell at 75% wool with a cashmere blend and called the fabric thick, sturdy and neatly stitched. Fit is described as reliably true to size, though the brand's own 0–6 sizing scale confuses first-time buyers. The recurring functional gripe is warmth — the wool coats disappoint in windy, below-freezing weather — and forum posters are notably more skeptical about quality-for-price on the wider range than individual coat reviewers are.

Strengths

High wool content and clean stitching on the wool coats, with fit that reviewers say matches your normal size.

Watch out for

Wool coats underperform in hard wind and real cold, and forum posters question whether the broader jacket range justifies its price.

Sizing

Reviewers say your normal size fits as expected, but Ted Baker uses its own 0–6 scale (equivalent to UK 6–18), so check the conversion chart before ordering.
