please add one inch as the larger jackets do not come in odd chest sizes.

SHIRT

NECK

Measure around the neck at the level the collar of the shirt will sit.

Using one or two fingers, adjust the tape for comfort.

Dress shirts at home can be used to verify the measurement.

(However some shirt manufacturers only list sizes as S, M, L, XL, XXL, etc.)

THIS IS YOUR NECK SIZE

shirtsleev.jpg (5714 bytes)

SLEEVE

With the arm hanging down beside the body, measure from the base of the neck,

over the shoulder and down the arm to the wrist.

Dress shirts at home can be used to verify this measurement as well.

THIS IS YOUR SLEEVE LENGTH

PANTS

WAIST

With snug fitting pants, measure around the waist

just above the hipbone around the level of the navel.

As all our pants are adjustable up or down at least 3”,

a rough approximation is adequate.

THIS IS YOUR WAIST SIZE

to approximately 1” below the anklebone

THIS IS YOUR PANT LENGTH
