MEASURING FOR PROPER FIT
THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES ARE IMPORTANT TO
REMEMBER IN MEASURING FOR PROPER FIT
Give all measurements in inches.
If the person's measurements are between sizes,
order the larger size.
For example: if a man's neck measures 15 3/4
inches you should order size "large" in a short
sleeve shirt or a "16-16 1/2" in a long sleeve
shirt.
For greatest accuracy, have someone take
measurements rather than allowing customers to
measure themselves.
The tape measure should be pulled snug, not tight.
Check the size scale of all garments being ordered to
ensure that all measurements were taken at the proper
points.
MEN'S SHIRTS
NECK measurement is the circumference of the
neck as illustrated.
SLEEVE LENGTH is measured by placing one end of
the tape at the bottom of the collar at the center of
the back and marking the distance around the elbow to
the bottom of the wrist. It is often helpful to have
the arm slightly bent.
CHEST is taken at the fullest point of the
bust, keeping tape under arms and around shoulder
blades. Hold tape level and firmly but not tight.
MEN'S TROUSERS, JEANS AND BIB OVERALLS
WAIST s taken at the top of the hipbone over
shirt (not over pants). Tape should only be held
snug, do not hold tape tight.
INSEAM is taken from the base of the crotch to
the top of the shoe or boot. For jeans, add one inch.
It is advisable to ask the person being
measured how he or she wears their trousers. Not
everyone wears their trousers or jeans the same
length or height on their hips.
MEN'S COVERALLS
CHEST SIZE is taken at the fullest point of the
chest, keeping tape under arms and around shoulder
blades. This measurement should be taken over
clothing, preferably over same garment or types of
garments to be worn with the coveralls.
LENGTH We suggest using your same inseam
measurement for pants, but subtracting 1 to 2 inches
to accommodate Dickies lower crotch construction.
MEN'S JACKETS
CHEST SIZE is taken at the fullest point of the
chest, keeping tape under arms and around shoulder
blades. This measurement should be taken over
clothing, preferably over garments or types of
garments to be worn with the jacket.
SLEEVE LENGTH is measured by placing one end of
the tape at the bottom of the collar at the center of
the back and marking the distance around the elbow to
the outer edge of the wrist.
