We have put together this guide to walk you through each measurement. It should take around 10 minutes — a flexible tape measure and a friend to help will make it straightforward.
Upper Body
1 — Length
Measure from the base of the collar at the back of your neck, straight down the spine, to where you want the jacket to finish.
Tip: A classic jacket length finishes around the curve of the seat.2 — Shoulders
Measure straight across the back from the bony edge of one shoulder to the bony edge of the other, following the natural shoulder line.
Tip: Have a friend take this — it cannot be done accurately on yourself.3 — Chest Circumference
Measure around the fullest part of your chest, with the tape under your arms and flat across your shoulder blades. Keep it horizontal.
Tip: Keep your arms relaxed at your sides and breathe normally.4 — Stomach Bust
Measure around the fullest part of your midsection / stomach, keeping the tape horizontal all the way around.
Tip: Do not suck in — stand naturally.5 — Sleeve Length
With your arm slightly bent, measure from the edge of your shoulder, down the outside of the arm, to the wrist bone.
Tip: Measure the arm you write with.6 — Bicep Circumference
Measure around the fullest part of your upper arm, with the arm relaxed at your side.
Tip: Do not flex.7 — Wrist Circumference
Measure around your wrist bone, where a watch would sit.
Tip: Keep the tape snug, not tight.Lower Body
1 — Trouser Length
Measured on the OUTSIDE of the leg — from the top of the waistband straight down the outer seam to where you want the trouser to finish at the ankle.
Tip: Use a pair of trousers you already like for reference.2 — Waist
Measure around your waist where you actually wear your trousers — this may be higher or lower than your natural waist.
Tip: Measure over a light shirt, not over a belt.3 — Hip Circumference
Measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat, keeping the tape horizontal.
Tip: Stand with your feet together.4 — Thigh Circumference
Measure around the fullest part of your thigh, just below where it meets the body.
Tip: Keep the tape snug but not tight.5 — Full Crotch Rise
Measured from the front of the waistband, down through the crotch, and back up to the waistband at the back — the full U-shape.
Tip: Easiest measured while seated on a firm chair, or taken from a well-fitting pair of trousers laid flat.6 — Hamstring Circumference
Measure around the back of your upper leg at the fullest part of the hamstring.
Tip: Keep the tape horizontal.7 — Calf Circumference
Measure around the fullest part of your calf.
Tip: Stand naturally with weight evenly distributed.General Tips
- Use a flexible fabric tape measure — a rigid measuring tape will give inaccurate results.
- Measure over a light shirt or fitted underlayer, never over a heavy jacket or coat.
- Have a friend take the measurements where possible, especially shoulder width and back length.
- Stand naturally — do not adjust your posture, suck in, or puff out.
- If between sizes, always note both measurements.
