Core Measurement Guide

• Shoulder (Across Back):

  • Stand in a relaxed, natural posture with your arms at your sides.

  • Place the measuring tape at the tip of one shoulder, where the horizontal slope of the shoulder meets the vertical slope of the arm.

  • Stretch the tape horizontally across your back to the same point on the opposite shoulder, following the natural curve of the back.

• Chest (Full Circumference):

  • Raise your arms slightly and wrap the measuring tape around the fullest part of your chest, typically right under the armpits and across the shoulder blades.

  • Lower your arms to your sides and take the measurement while standing naturally—do not puff out your chest or hold your breath.

  • Keep the tape snug but not tight, ensuring it is level and horizontal all the way around your body.

• Length (Jacket/Body):

  • Start from the highest point of your shoulder, where the shoulder seam meets the base of the neck.

  • Measure straight down the front of your torso to your desired end point.

  • Standard blazer length usually ends near the top of the thigh, while overcoats may go to the knee.
