Measuring Guide

If possible, have someone else take your measurements.
Your measurements will be more accurate if you use a cloth measuring tape or string
and less accurate if you use a metal tape measure or yardstick. If your measurements
fall between two sizes, order the larger size. If you are measuring yourself, it helps to stand in front of a mirror. All manufacturers use slightly different sizing. Do not order uniform components based on what you regularly wear, or even on what you have ordered from here before. Sizes may change with updates or when new items are added. |

NOTE: Take measurements based
on how you want your clothing to fit. For example, if you like to wear looser
fitting clothing or prefer more room in certain areas, select clothing that is
one size larger than your exact measurements indicate. CLOTH MEASURING TAPE (PREFERRED OPTION): When using a cloth measuring tape, hold the tape straight but not tight. Measure over undergarments or other clothing worn under your uniform. Make sure there aren’t any twists. STRING MEASUREMENT (ALTERNATE OPTION) : If you use a string, hold it straight but not tight. Measure over undergarments or other clothing worn under your uniform. Pinch the string at your mark and then lay it over a metal tape measure or yardstick to obtain the measurement. | ||||||

MEASURING GUIDE AND TIPS CHEST: Measure around the fullest part of the chest, holding the tape under the arms and wrapping the tape all the way around the torso. Note the measurement where two points meet (see measurement A). WAIST: Measure where you feel most comfortable wearing your pants (see measurement B). An alternate option is to place a pair of well-fitting pants that are zipped and buttoned on a flat surface then measure across the waistband of the pants. Doubling this measurement gives you your waist size. HIPS: Measure around the fullest part of the hips, which is usually just below the point of the hip bone (see measurement C). Hold the tape measure straight and level. INSEAM LENGTH: Option 1—Wearing the shoes you intend to wear with the uniform pants, measure from the point where you like your crotch seam to lay to where you want the bottom of the pant leg, usually about an inch above the bottom of your heel when measured by another person (see measurement D). Option 2— If you are taking the measurement yourself, lay out a similarly styled pair of pants flat with the zipper facing up. Expose the inseam and straighten the leg. Measure from the crotch seam to the bottom of the pant leg. SLEEVE: Measure from the center of the neck at the back of the collar, over the shoulder, along the arm, to the wrist (see measurement E). Alternatively, use the marked sleeve length sizing from a dress shirt that fits you properly. HEAD: Wear a hat that fits you well. Note the location of where the hat band lays. Take off your hat and measure around your head at the same location as the hat you took off (see measurement F). NECK: On a shirt that fits you well, lay the collar flat. Measure the collar from the center of the collar button to the far end of the collar buttonhole (see measurement G in the neck measurement drawing). An alternate option is to measure comfortably around your neck. |
