Measurement Guides

Tops (Shirts, Blouses, Knits, T-Shirts, Coats, Jackets)

Shoulder to Shoulder:

 

• Lay the garment flat, ensuring it is smooth and wrinkle-free.
• Measure horizontally from one shoulder seam to the other, across the back.

Chest:   With the garment still laid flat, measure straight across from one underarm seam to the other. Multiply by two if you need the total circumference. Sleeve:   Lay the garment flat. Start at the shoulder seam and measure along the top of the sleeve down to the cuff edge.

Full Length:

 

• Identify the highest point of the garment at the shoulder or collar seam.
• Measure straight down the front to the bottom hem.

This also goes for the half sleeve tees as well.

Trousers:

 

 

Waist

• Lay the trousers flat, fastened, and smooth out wrinkles. Measure across the waistband from one edge to the other, then multiply by two for the total waist circumference

Inseam

• Measure along the inside leg seam, starting from the crotch and running straight down to the hem.

Full Length / Outseam

• Measure along the outer side of the trousers, from the top edge of the waistband down to the hem.

 

Additional Tips

• Use a flexible measuring tape, keeping it flat and taut without stretching.
• Smooth out the garment on a flat surface for accuracy.
• All measurements are provided in centimetre (cm) for consistency and easy comparison.
