How & What to Measure

A — Chest
- Measure around the chest and body at its fullest part (typically right under the armpits and shoulder blades, right across the nipples).
- Hold the tape against the body tight enough so that it does not slip down, but not so tight that it restricts breathing. It should be snug.
- Make sure the tape is horizontal and the person’s arms are by their side; then take a normal breath and measure.
- Do not puff out your chest.
- Double check this measurement.
B — Sleeves
- Keep your elbow slightly bent.
- Measure from the end of teh right shoulder to the “pinch” of the right hand.
- The “pinch” of the hand is found where the base of the thumb and the base of the index finger intersect (approximately 1 inch above the index finger knuckle).
- Double check this measurement.
C — Waist
- Measure around your waist at the level where you would normally wear your pant’s belt.
- With the tape measure snug around your waist, relax, and take the measurement.
D — Inseam
- Measure from the lowest part of your crotch area to the floor.
- Make sure the tape is tight along the inside of your let and that you are standing straight — then measure.
- Do not wear shoes.
