Measurements
​For Men

For all measurements use a soft tailor tape measure. 

1- Collar

Measuring collar

​Wrap the measuring tape around the neck; about one inch from the meeting of your neck and shoulders. This may also coincide with the bottom of your Adam's apple.
Do not leave a space between the neck and the tape. Make sure the tape is level and not being held at an angle.  
​Insert a finger width.

2- Shoulder Width

Measuring shoulder width


​Your back should be straight, but your shoulders need to hang naturally in a relaxed position.
Place the tape measure from the tip of one shoulder the other, touching the bottom of the collar.

3- Sleeves Length

Measuring sleeves length


​The measuring tape must be held at the shoulder seem and laid down along the outside of your bent arm down to your wrist where you want your shirt cuff to finish.
​
​

4- Bicep

Measuring bicep

When having your bicep measured, your arms should be completely relaxed and hanging loose by your sides.
To ensure that your shirt fits properly, the bicep measurement should be taken around the thickest part of your bicep. This point will probably be high up on your arm, only about 2 inches (5.1 cm) below the armpit.  
​Insert a finger width.

5- Wrist

Measuring wrist

Measure the circumference of your wrist inserting one finger to allow for some slack. 


​

6- Armpit

Measuring armpit

​
​
The measuring tape needs to be wrapped around your armpit starting from the top of your shoulder.
​Insert a finger width.



​

7- Chest 

Measuring chest around

​
Slide the tape so that it surrounds your chest and just under your armpits.
​Rest it securely around the widest part of your chest, which is often above or at the nipple line.


8- Waist

Measuring waist

Hold the end of the tape measure at your navel and circle it around your waist.
​The measuring tape should be parallel to the floor and fit snugly around your torso without digging into your skin.
​Insert a finger width.

9- Stomach

Measuring stomach

Hold the end of the tape measure between your bellybutton and waistband.
​The measuring tape should be parallel to the floor and fit snugly around your torso without digging into your skin.
​Insert a finger width.

​

10- Above Chest Width

Measuring above chest width

Slide the tape so that it surrounds the top of your chest and falls on the crease of your armpits.
​Rest it securely just above the widest part of your chest, which is often above the nipple line.
​Insert a finger width to allow for some slack.




11- Armpit Spacing

Measuring armpit spacing


Measure the distance from the back at its widest points from each armpit. Ensure the tape is straight.  
​Insert a finger width.
​
​

12- Shirt Length

Measuring shirt length


Place the end of the measuring tape on the shoulder seam touching the collar. With your arm relaxed, measure the length straight down to the bottom of the fly.
​
​

13- Pants Waist

Measuring pants waist


Start at the top of your hip bone, then bring the tape measure all the way around your body, level with your belly button.
Make sure it's not too tight and that it's straight, even at the back.
​Insert a finger width. 
​

14- Above Your Hips

Measuring above hips
​

Place a tape measure around your bare stomach just above the upper hip bone.
​Make sure the measuring tape is parallel to the floor.  Ensure that the tape measure is snug to your body, but not so tight that it compresses the skin.
Insert a finger width.

15- Hips

Measuring hips


To measure your hips, remove your outer garments, put your feet together, and wrap a soft measuring tape straight and snug around the widest part of your hips.
​Your hip measurement is the point at which the end of the tape meets the remaining length. 
Insert a finger width.

​

16- Crotch

Measuring crotch


Start with the tape measure at the waist, bring it down under your crotch, up around the curve of your butt and back up to the waist in back. It's key to include any curves of the belly and butt into this measurement; otherwise, your pants will feel too snug.
​

17- Thigh

Measuring thigh
​

Measure the circumference of the fullest part of your thigh.
​Wrap the tape measure around your thigh from front to back and then around to the front. Insert a finger width.

​

18- Knee

Measuring knee
​

Measure from the centre of your kneecap while your knee is bent at a 45 degree angle.
Now wrap the measuring tape around this section until it meets the starting point.
​Insert a finger width.

​

19- Calf

Measuring calf
​

Wrap the measuring tape around the widest part of your calf.
​Insert a finger width.

20- Pants Length

Measuring pants length
​

Measure from the top of your pants waist  along the side pant seam until the bottom of your pants or roughly 1 inch from the ground. Ensure you are standing straight.
