Self-Measure Guide
Nine measurements. One garment.
Use a soft tape measure, measure over light clothing, and don't pull tight. When in doubt, leave it to us at your fitting.
How to measure
You'll need a soft fabric tape measure, a mirror, and ideally someone to help. Measure over a fitted t-shirt or vest. Don't pull the tape tight — you want it to sit against the body without compressing.
- Chest. Around the fullest part, under the armpits, keeping the tape level.
- Waist. Around your natural waistline — usually just above the navel.
- Hips. Around the widest point, usually 18–20 cm below the waist.
- Shoulder. From one shoulder bone to the other, across the back.
- Sleeve. From shoulder point to wrist, arm slightly bent.
- Inseam. Crotch to ankle bone, inside the leg.
- Jacket length. From the base of the collar to where you want the hem to sit.
- Neck. Around the base of the neck, one finger of slack.
- Bicep. Around the fullest part of the upper arm, relaxed.
