Menswear how to measure

Neck. Place the tape measure around the neck where the shirt collar will be once buttoned up. Leave about a finger or two width between the tape measure and your neck and take the measurement.

Chest. Place the tape measure horizontally across the fullest part of the chest and high up under the arms. Tape shouldn’t be pulled tight, nor allowed to sag.

Sleeve. Measure arm from shoulder to wrist bone.

Waist. Pass the measuring tape around your waistline where your trousers normally sit. Don’t pull the tape too tight, allow a finger’s width or so of extra room.

Inner Leg. Measure from the crotch seam of your pants to just below the ankle.
