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. |

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.
