How to take the measurement at home

Taking a measurement at home is easy. But you can’t do it all by yourself. Use a measuring tape and leave about 2 fingers of space between the body and the tape. 

Always measure twice to get accurate results.

• Wrap a tape underneath the armpits and put your hands back into their resting position. 
• For the waist size, wrap the tape just above the hip bone, that is your stomach area.  
• For the overarm, make sure the tape is wrapped around your arm and chest.   
• Shoulders should be measured from point to point, that is from one shoulder seam to the other. This is usually taken with the jacket on.
• The sleeve over seam is taken from the backside of the sleeve with the jacket on for correct results.
• For the coat length, measure from the center back which is from where the collar seam meets. 

Determine your trouser measurement:

• Wrap the tape around the waist right below the navel to measure the size of the waist.
• Next, check the measurement of the buttocks by wrapping the tape around the butt area.
• Check the outseam, that is the distance from the top of a trouser waistband to the hem. Also, measure the inseam, from the crotch of the trousers to the hem.
• Wrap the tape around the thickest part of your thigh and do not use your fingers in between the tape and the thighs. This can cause wrong measurements.
• Measure the knee horizontally for accurate results.
• Just like the knee, place the tape down at the leg.

Do not forget to take a note of all the sizes for reference.
