Fit preference
Your eight measurements
Use centimetres or inches consistently. Keep the tape flat; do not add extra room unless the guide says so. We add room for movement during the fit review.
Wrap the tape around the base of your neck where a shirt collar sits. Look straight ahead and leave room for one finger.
Ask a helper to measure across your upper back, from the edge of one shoulder to the other, where each shoulder meets the arm.
Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest, under your armpits. Lower your arms and breathe normally. Keep the tape level all around.
Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your stomach, usually near your belly button. Stand relaxed, breathe normally and keep the tape level.
Ask a helper to measure down the centre of your back, from where the bottom of a shirt collar sits to where you want the hem to finish.
Ask a helper to measure from the edge of your shoulder, over the outside of your slightly bent elbow, to the bump at your wrist.
Let your arm hang relaxed. Wrap the tape around the widest part of your upper arm, between your shoulder and elbow. Do not flex.
Wrap the tape around your wrist at the small bony bump, just above your hand. Remove your watch and keep your hand relaxed.
