Measurements For Proper Fit
The following guidelines are important to remember in measuring for proper fit.
- Give all measurements in inches.
- If the person’s measurements are between sizes, order the larger size. For example: if a man’s neck measures 15 ¾ inches you should order size “large” in a short sleeve shirt or a “16-16 ½” in a long sleeve shirt where applicable.
- For greatest accuracy, have someone take measurements rather than allowing customers to measure themselves.
- The tape measure should be pulled snug, not tight.
- Check the size scale of all garments being ordered to ensure that all measurements were taken at the proper points.
Shirts
- Neck measurement is the circumference of the neck.
- Sleeve length is measured by placing one end of the tape at the bottom of the collar at the center of the back and marking the distance around the elbow to the bottom of the wrist. It is often helpful to have the arm slightly bent.
Coveralls
- Chest size is taken at the fullest point of the chest, keeping tape under arms and around shoulder blades. This measurement should be taken over clothing, preferably over the same garment or types of garments to be work with the coveralls.
- Length is measured the same as with trousers using an inseam measurement. Measure from the base of the crotch to the top of the shoe.
Jackets
- Chest size is taken at the fullest point of the chest, keeping tape under arms and around shoulder blades. This measurement should be taken over clothing, preferably over garments or types of garments to be worn with the jacket.
- Sleeve length is measured by placing one end of the tape at the bottom of the collar at the center of the back and marking the distance around the elbow to the outer edge of the wrist.
Women
- Hip measurement is taken with heels together and around the fullest point.
- Chest measurement is taken at the fullest point of the bust and across shoulder blades holding tape firmly and level, but not tight.
