What does 42’s size mean?

What does L and R mean in suits?
All chest sizes come in three length: R(Regular), L(Long) and S(Short). An easy way to explain the difference between “Regular”, “Long” and “Short” is, for “Short”, both the sleeves and length of the overall jacket will be 1″ – 1.5″ shorter than “Regular”, and same applies to “Regular” vs “Long”.
What does a 42 suit mean?
Suit and sport coat sizes have one number and one descriptive word (for example, 38 short, 40 regular, 42 long). The number refers to your chest measurement, and the descriptive word refers to the length of the jacket.
How tall is 6’tall, 42R or 42L?
At 6′, I generally wear a 44R. However, there have been a few times when a 44L was required to get the proper jacket length. The best bet is to try them on and then you will know for sure. I’m another 6ft 42 guy. Like eagle I always try suits on, and often have the sleeves or trousers altered if necessary.
What’s the difference between classic and extra slim fit suits?
• Suits have what is called a “drop,” which is the difference between the size of the jacket and the size of the pants. Classic-fit suits typically have a 6″ drop, meaning that a size 38R jacket is paired with size 32 pants. Slim-fit and extra-slim-fit suits typically have a 6″ to 7″ drop.

How tall do you have to be to wear a 42R?
I tend to wear a 42R as I’m longer in the leg (34″ inseam) than in the torso. I’ve heard people over 5’9″ should wear long, but long jackets always feel…well…long. Should I try to explore the longs a bit more? I also wear a 42R. I’m 5’10 with a 30″ inseam. I feel like longs are way too long for me.
