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.
