How To Measure Jacket
Our step-by-step guide will help ensure a perfect fit for your new jacket! If you need further assistance, please get in touch.
- Always ask someone to measure you, never be tempted to measure yourself!
- Please take all measurements in inches.
- Please use a loose tailors tape measure, not a stiff DIY tape measure. These are cheap to buy either locally or online.
- Stand relaxed (do not breathe in), with your feet together and look straight ahead at all times.
- Ensure the tape measure is level all the way around for each measurement, it shouldn't be sloping or slanting.
- If you need our assistance, please get in touch for further assistance.
- Measure high under the armpits, at the widest point around your upper body (relax your arms down to the side before recording the measurement).
- The tape measure should include the shoulder blades.
- Both arms must be relaxed down to the side.
- Where possible, this is best measured with a formal jacket on.
- Measure from the crown to cuff (where the sleeve meets the shoulder to the bottom of the cuff).
- Ensure this is not too long as some shirt cuff should be exposed.
- We can reasonably predict your sleeve length from your height and will call you to discuss if necessary.
- If you don't have a jacket to measure, measure from the top of your shoulder down to 1/2 inch past the wrist bone.
- Sleeve guide: 23.5" - Short Fitting, 24.75" - Regular Fitting, 26" - Long Fitting, 27.25" - Extra Long Fitting
- Measure the widest point of the tummy, which is usually at navel height.
- Add 1 inch for movement, or take a loose measurement.
- PLEASE NOTE, THIS IS NOT YOUR WAIST SIZE.
- This measurement ensures that the garment(s) we send you can be fastened around your tummy. It's not something other companies ask for, but it's very important!
