What does 22.5" mean for height?

Question

I'm gonna buy a jacket, but i dont know what size to get, or if it'll be too big. on the size chart it says: fem. small = width:18" and height: 22.5" what does that mean? thanks in advance

Answer 1

The jacket is 22.5 inches in height (top of jacket to bottom of jacket), and 18 inches in width.

It's highly likely measurements are taken from back of the jacket, meaning it would be from the top (tip that hits neck) to the bottom tip, as far as the height is concerned.

Answer 2

It means the jacket is 22.5 inches tall.
