How to measure

How to measure:

                                

Neck

To Measure your neck properly, put a tape measure around the largest area of your neck where you normally wear the collar when buttoned and round up to the nearest 1/2 inch increment (i.e. 15 1/4" should be rounded up to 15 1/2"). This will be your neck size. If you prefer a looser collar, and 1/2". If you like a lot of room, and 1".

Chest

To measure the chest, place the tape measure well up under the arms, straight across the back, over the blades, and over the chest in the front. Insert a finger between the tape and body to insure proper ease. This measurement usually determines the coat size.

 

Waist                                                                                                                                                                                
 

Measure over shirt only at the point where pants are normally worn.                                                             

 

Hip

 

To measure the hips, place the tape measure directly over pants around the largest part of the seat. It is crucial that while taking this measurement, all bulky articles have been taken out of the pockets, and the persons heels are together. This is for slack sizing only.


Sleeve

Bend your elbow 90 degrees and place your hand on your hip. Hold the tape at the center back of your neck. Measure across your shoulder to your elbow, and down to your wrist. The total length in inches is your sleeve length.

Overarm
 

The over-arm measurement is taken with the coat off, around the body in the same manner and position where the chest was measured, but this time includes both arms. The normal difference between this measurement and the chest is 7". If it is greater then 7", then the coat should be larger size to compensate for the extra material needed in the arms and shoulders.

 

Jacket Length

Measure from the bone at the base of the neck down to the length you want the garment to be.

 

Inside Leg Seam

 

It is very important to take the inside leg measurement. This is from the crotch to the bottom of the pants. You determine a man’s crotch measurement by deducting the inside leg measurement from the outside leg measurement.

 

 

Outside Leg Seam

To measure the outseam of a person, make sure that the person has the slacks on his waist where he would normally where them. Take the tape and from the top of his pant line to the top of where the shoe meets the foot from the outside just below the ankle, add 1" and you have the pant outseam.

Height

Stand in stocking feet with your feet slightly apart and your back to a wall. Measure from the floor to the top of your head.
