How to measure for a perfect fit.
|
|
Shirt NeckPlace the measuring tape around your neck at the level the collar would be buttoned. Place one finger between your neck and the tape. The tape should be snug but move freely. |
|
|
Chest MeasurementWrap the measuring tape around the broadest part of your chest; under your arms. Relax, and place one finger between the tape and your body. Again, the tape should be snug but move freely. |
|
|
OverarmMeasurement Now wrap the measuring tape over your chest and shoulders at the broadest part. This measurement is critical for a proper coat fit. |
|
|
Waist MeasurementPlace the measuring tape around your waist at the level of your navel; this is the height at which formal trousers are worn. The tape should be snug but move freely. |

Measurement
Look straight ahead during this measurement. Put the start
of the measuring tape at the side of your waist at navel
level. Stretch the tape down the side of your leg until
your reach to top of your dress shoe's heel. This is your
correct outseam measurement.
Look
straight ahead and keep your arms at your side when
measuring. Place the start of the measuring tape at the
base of your neck on the center of your spine. Move the
tape over the top of your shoulder and down your arm to
just below your wrist. Round the measurement to the
closest inch mark.|
