how do the sizes work, when it comes to chest waders?

Each brand of waders has a chart with various measurements that determine the size that's best for you -- inseam length, chest size, waist size, etc. These measurements are cross-referenced with your shoe/sock size. Just take your measurements, match it with your shoe size and then try the waders on. Comfort and range of motion are extremely important. Bend over, squat, kneel, and do anything else that you can think of to test the fit and comfort of the chest waders. If these are sock-foot waders you're sizing, bring the socks and boots you plan to use. Try on the size up and down from your size to dial in the best fit. If the store doesn't have the size you need, do NOT settle for another size. Put a pair on special order or go to another store. You can't compromise here.

I have found that the sizing charts are pretty good at predicting what size you'll need, but there are always exceptions. You've GOT to try them on before sealing the deal. If you must buy online (sight-unseen), then go to a store that has the same kind of waders and use that store as your "showroom." Barring that, be sure the website you're buying from has a fair return policy for items that don't fit.
