Get ready

Before you begin

  1. Wear a collared shirt, not a bulky jumper.

  2. Keep arms relaxed, bending the elbow slightly when measuring the sleeve.

  3. Hold the tape close without squeezing the body.

  4. Record size fields in inches. Include your full height with its unit as a proportion check.

Step by step

Jacket measurements

Body measurements over a shirt. Follow the position the product asks for.

1

Shoulder

Across

Measure straight across the back from one shoulder point to the other.

2

Chest

Around

Measure under the arms around the fullest part of the chest. Keep your arms relaxed and allow the tape to sit flat.

3

Jacket waist

Around

Measure around your natural waist where the jacket will sit. Keep the tape level without pulling it tight.

4

Sleeve

Length

Measure from the shoulder point, over a slightly bent elbow, to the wrist bone.

5

Full back length

Vertical

Measure from the prominent bone at the base of the neck straight down to the required jacket length.

6

Neck

Around

Measure around the base of your neck where the collar will sit. Keep the tape level and comfortably snug.

Height and posture

Record full height and tell us about noticeably sloping or square shoulders, a forward stance, or a fuller chest. These details help when a made-to-measure option is offered.
