1. Height (cm)
From the top of the head to the floor without shoes is the height. A person’s height usually determines whether he will need a short, regular or long fitting.

Height Range Fitting
155cm (5’1”) - 170cm (5’7”) Short
170cm (5’7”) - 183cm (6’0”) Regular
183cm (6’0”) - 198cm (6’6”) Long

2. Chest (cm)
This measurement usually determines the coat size. The measurement is taken with the coat off, around the body.

Place the tape well under the arms, straight across the back, over the shoulder blades and over the chest in the front. Insert a finger between the tape and the body to ensure proper ease and record the measurement.

3. Waist (cm)
Determines trouser waist. Place tape around body just above hip bones. Insert finger between tape and body and allow freedom of fit.

NOTE: All trousers have adjustable waist bands which allow for comfort adjustment. As an average guide, adding 5 inches to waist gives you jacket size.

4. Neck (cm)
Measure with the shirt collar unbuttoned. Place the tape around the neck at the height the collar would fall if buttoned. Take the measurement with one finger between the tape and the neck to ensure proper ease.

5. Sleeve Length (cms)
The sleeve length, along with a person’s height, will determine whether a short, regular or long fitting is required. This measurement is taken with the coat on and the arms straight down at the sides. Place a tape at the seam where the shoulder meets the sleeve. Run the tape straight down to a point 2cm below the wrist bone. This is the sleeve length.

6. Leg Length (cms)
Outside leg measurement is gained by standing with feet together and trousers up on the waist (the waist centres on the navel). Measure from the top of the waist to the floor without shoes on.

7. Shoe Size  
Please provide your shoe size and note wether it is an American, British or European size. Also note that a shoe size is one size smaller than a sneaker size.
