Measuring Guide

 

Instead of measuring your own body, we recommend measuring a reference garment that fits you the way you like, laid flat. That is the easiest way to understand how our garments will fit. 

 

For Shirt/Jackets: 

-Note: Compare shirts with shirts, jackets with jackets.

-Shoulder width: measured straight across the back, from shoulder seam to shoulder seam.

-Sleeve length: from the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff.

Note: on styles with a dropped shoulder, this number will look shorter than a traditional jacket. It’s best to combine this with the shoulder measurement for a full picture.

-Chest width: measured straight across the front, just under the armpits (pit to pit).

-Body length: from the top of the shoulder (beside the collar) down to the hem.

-Hem width: measured straight across the bottom opening of the jacket.

 

For Jeans/Trousers:

-Note: Compare jeans with jeans, trousers with trousers

-Waist: measured straight across the waistband.

-Rise: from the crotch seam up to the top of the waistband (front rise).

-Thigh width: straight (horizontally) across the leg, just below the crotch.

-Inseam: from the crotch seam down to the hem along the inner leg.

Note: Inseam length is the NOT the only way to understand the length of a pair of jeans/trousers. On styles with a longer rise, this number will look shorter than a traditional pair of jeans/trousers. It’s best to combine this with the rise for a full picture.

-Leg opening: measured straight across the hem of the leg.
