How To Measure - Jacket

Before you start...

1. Always ask someone to measure you, never be tempted to measure yourself!
2. Please take all measurements in inches.
3. Please use a loose tailors tape measure, not a stiff DIY tape measure. These are cheap to buy either locally or online.
4. Stand relaxed (do not breathe in), with your feet together and look straight ahead at all times.
5. Ensure the tape measure is level all the way around for each measurement, it shouldn't be sloping or slanting.
6. If you need our assistance, please call +44 (0)1792 474685 or drop us an e-mail enquiries@welsh-tartan.com

CHEST

• Measure high under the armpits, at the widest point around your upper body (relax your arms down to the side before recording the measurement).
• The tape measure should include the shoulder blades.

SLEEVE LENGTH

• Both arms must be relaxed down to the side.
• Where possible, this is best measured with a formal jacket on.
• Measure from the crown to cuff (where the sleeve meets the shoulder to the bottom of the cuff).
• Ensure this is not too long as some shirt cuff should be exposed.
• We can reasonably predict your sleeve length from your height and will call you to discuss if necessary.
• If you don't have a jacket to measure, measure from the top of your shoulder down to 1/2 inch past the wrist bone.
• Sleeve guide: 23.5" - Short Fitting, 24.75" - Regular Fitting, 26" - Long Fitting

TUMMY

• Measure the widest point of the tummy, which is usually at navel height.
• Add 1 inch for movement, or take a loose measurement.
• PLEASE NOTE, THIS IS NOT YOUR WAIST SIZE.
• This measurement ensures that the garment(s) we send you can be fastened around your tummy. It's not something other companies ask for, but it's very important!
