(A) Neck Measurement

Wrap the measuring tape around the base of your neck where a shirt collar would sit. Make sure it’s snug but not tight.

(B) Shoulder Width

Measure straight across the back from the edge of one shoulder to the other. This defines the jacket’s shoulder span.

(C) Sleeve Length

Start at the edge of your shoulder (where the sleeve begins), run the tape down over a slightly bent elbow, and end at the wrist bone.

(D) Chest Measurement

Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape level and under your arms. Make sure your arms are relaxed at your sides.

(E) Waist Measurement

Measure around your natural waist, just above your belly button. Keep the tape firm but comfortable.

(F) Jacket Length

Begin measuring from the top of your shoulder (beside the neck) and run the tape straight down to where you want the jacket to end, usually mid-thigh or just below the hips.

(G) Full Body Length

Measure from the top of your shoulder to the floor while standing straight. This gives a complete length guide for longer jackets or coats.
