Shirt Measurement

 

1. Full Chest
• Measure around the chest and body at its fullest part (typically right under the armpits and back shoulder blades, right across the nipples).
• Hold the tape against the body tight
enough so that it does not slip down, but not so tight that it restricts breathing. It should be “snug”.
• Make sure the tape is horizontal and the person's arms are by their side; then take a normal breath and measure.
• Do not puff out your chest
• Double check this measurement.
2. Full Shoulder Width
• Measure from the end of the right shoulder to the end of the left shoulder.
• We define the “End of the Shoulder” as where the horizontal plane of the
shoulder intersects the vertical plane of the arm (see illustration).
• Double check measurement.

3. Right Sleeve
• Measure from the end of the right shoulder, starting at the same point you left measuring the shoulder, to the“Pinch” of the right hand.
• The “Pinch” of the hand is found
where the base of the thumb and the base of the index finger intersect
(approximately 1 inch above the index finger knuckle).
• Double check this measurement.


4. Left Sleeve
• Measure from the end of the left
shoulder to the “Pinch” of the left hand. (See illustration)
• Double check this measurement.
5. Belly / Stomach
• Measure around the fullest part of the belly/stomach or right below your bottom ribs, whichever is greater.
6. Neck
• Measure around your neck at the height where your collar, if buttoned, would be.
• This measurement should be taken along the lower section of the neck.
• The tape should be comfortably touching the skin, with enough room for one finger.
7. Shirt Length
• Measure straight down the front from the base of the neck (right or left side) to the point level with your thumb knuckle.

8. Right Full Sleeve
• Measure from the base of the right side of the neck to the pinch of the right hand


9. Left Full Sleeve
• Measure from the base of the left side of the neck to the pinch of the left hand
