How To Measure

For best results, DO NOT take your own measurements. Stand up straight but relaxed, wearing best fitting undergarments, or if preferred, clothing that follows the body's contour. Have someone hold tape so that it is straight, snug and lies smoothly but doesn't indent the body.

Men's Measurements

Height - Stand, without shoes, against a wall. Place a ruler across top of head to wall. Measure from that point down to floor.
Chest - Measure across shoulder blades, under arms and across chest.
Waist - Measure around smallest part of natural waist.
Seat - Measure around fullest part of seat.
Inseam - Wearing well fitted pant of the same type, measure along the inner seam from the crotch seam to the bottom of leg. We custom hem trousers to your inseam measurement.
Sleeve - Bend elbow. Measure from center of back, across the shoulder, around point of elbow to wrist bone.
