How to Measure for the Right Size



Chest
With arms relaxed down at sides, measure chest just under arms, across shoulder blades keeping tape parallel to the floor.


Height
Stand with normal posture (barefoot) on a hard, flat surface. Measure from top of head down.


Outseam
Measure from top of waist band to bottom of cuff.

Natural Waist
Bend to one sideóthe natural crease that appears is your waist. Stand straight, measure around natural waistline, careful not to pull the tape too tight.

Neck
Measure around fullest part, keeping the tape parallel to the floor.


Sleeve
With arm relaxed at side and elbow slightly bent, measure from center back of neck, over point of shoulder, and down outside of arm past elbow to wrist. (Ask a friend to help you.)

Measuring Tips
• For the best results, take your measurements over your undergarments (do not measure over shirts and trousers).

• If you fall between two sizes, order the next size larger or smaller based on the particular garment or the type of fit you prefer.

• Rise is the measurement from crotch to top of waistband.

• Ask a friend to help you out. It may be easier and more accurate.

• Since measuring tapes tend to slide easily and are difficult to keep level, try using a piece of string or yarn. Place your fingers at the start and end points, keeping the string level to the floor. Then, measure the distance between the two points.
