How to Measure
How to Measure Your Neck
Begin by encircling the base of your neck with a measuring tape, leaving just enough space for one finger to ensure comfort. The neck measurement is crucial for shirts and jackets, and getting it right is essential for a comfortable fit.
How to Measure Your Chest
To measure the chest accurately, wrap the measuring tape around the fullest part of your chest, positioned high up under the arms. Ensure there is a space of approximately two fingers, and make certain the tape is level and not excessively tight. A precise chest measurement is pivotal for well-fitted shirts, jackets, and suits.
How to Measure Your Stomach
When measuring the stomach area, wrap the tape around the stomach, leaving a space of two fingers, and ensure it is at the level of the fullest part of the stomach. It’s important to avoid pulling the tape too tightly, especially when measuring for shirts and suits.
How to Measure Your Hip
Measure around the hips at the hip bone area, leaving a space of approximately two fingers. The tape should fit snugly and be positioned at the level of the fullest part of the hips. This measurement is vital for pants and jackets to achieve a comfortable and flattering fit.
How to Measure Your Full Sleeve
Starting from the point where the shoulder seam joins the sleeve, measure down along the arm to a point just below the wrist. Be sure to add an extra 1.5 CM to the measurement to allow for ease of movement. This measurement is essential to ensure well-fitted shirts, jackets, and suits.
How to Measure Your Shoulder
Measure from the point where the shoulder seam joins the sleeve of one hand to the shoulder seam joining the sleeve of the other hand. Additionally, add an allowance according to your body shape, typically between 2-4 CM. This measurement is crucial for properly fitting shirts and jackets.
How to Measure Your Front Length
To measure the front length, start from the point where the shoulder seam joins the collar and measure vertically to the desired length. This measurement is particularly important for jackets and suits to achieve the desired fit and aesthetic.
How to Measure Your Bicep
Encircle the measuring tape around the fullest part of the upper bicep, leaving space for two fingers and ensuring that the tape is parallel to the level. This measurement is significant for well-fitted shirts and jackets.
How to Measure Your Out & Inseam
Measure from the top of the right waistband to the floor, and subtract 1-1.5 CM to allow for a proper length in pants and suits.
How to Measure Your Waist
Wrap the measuring tape around the waistband with a space of two fingers, ensuring a snug or tight fit according to your body shape. This measurement is important for pants and suits for an accurate and comfortable fit.
How to Measure Your U-rise
Begin the measurement from the center of the front rise, across the crotch, and up to the center of the back waistband, ensuring a comfortably fitting measurement, usually allowing for 1 CM extra.
How to Measure Your Thigh
Measure around the thigh near the lowest point of the crotch with a space of two fingers, ensuring that the tape is snug and at the level. This measurement is critical for well-fitted pants and some styles of shorts.
