Measuring Tips  

Men’s Measuring Tips

NECK: Measure around the base of the neck where the collar will rest, placing a finger between the tape measure and the neck to ensure room for comfort.

CHEST: Measure across the fullest part of the chest, underneath the arm, keeping tape measure parallel to floor.

CHEST OVERARM (For Athletic Build): Measure across the fullest part of the chest, wrapping the tape measure all the way around the outside of your arms, keeping tape measure parallel to floor. If your over-arm measurement is 7” or more, bigger than your chest measurement, choose one size larger.

WAIST: Measure around your waist where you normally wear your pants. Keep one finger between the tape and your body to allow ease for fit.

SLEEVE LENGTH: With arm slightly bent, measure from the shoulder bone, down to the center of the elbow, to the wrist.

SLEEVE LENGTH (Dress Shirt): With arm slightly bent, start from the center back neck bone, across shoulder to the outermost point of the shoulder bone, down to the center of the elbow, to the wrist.

INSEAM: Measure similar pants that fit well, place tape measure at the joint of the pant leg to the bottom of the hem of the leg, rounding to the nearest half-inch.

BELT: For the correct fit, add 2” to your waist measurement or pant waist size.
