Tips / Instructions

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

a) Collar Size:

• Measure around your neck with one finger inside the tape for comfort.

b) Chest / Jacket Size:

• 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.

c) 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

d) Kilt Waist:

• The Kilt waist is much higher than a trouser waist.
• This should be a snug measurement at the widest point of the tummy, at navel height.

d) Trews Waist (High):

• Please note - This measurement only applies to our "Tartan Trews", NOT our "Golf Trousers" as these are not high waisted (see Trouser Waist below).
• Measure around your waist at navel height.
• Take the measurement firmly, so the trews may sit comfortably without falling down.

d) Tummy Size:

• Measure the widest point of the tummy, which is usually at navel height (the same place as you measure your kilt waist).
• 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 are able to be fastened around your tummy. It's not something other companies ask for, but it's very important!

e) Hips / Seat Size:

• Remove any items from your pockets.
• Measure around the widest point of the seat/hips.
• As illustrated above, this is normally around the buttocks.
• Put three fingers inside the tape to allow room for comfortable movement.

f) Kilt Length:

• Please get someone else to take this measurement for you, this is very important.
• This measurement is best taken whilst kneeling down on both knees with your body upright and back straight.
• Measure from the Kilt waist (as above) to the floor and take off 1/2 inch. Please take this measurement down the side of your body, not the front.
• As a guide your Kilt length will normally correspond to your height as shown below:

g) Inside Leg Length:

• Remove any footwear.
• Measure from the crotch to the floor.
• Please take this measurement wearing formal trousers if possible, up on the waist (not on the hips). Jeans are acceptable, but must be worn on the waist, but once again, not down low on the hips.

h) Outside Leg Length:

• Please note - This measurement only applies to our "Tartan Trews" and "Golf Trousers".
• Remove any footwear.
• Measure from the same height you measured your waist at, down the OUTSIDE of the leg to the floor.

i) Trouser Waist:

• Please note - This measurement only applies to our "Golf Trousers", NOT our "Tartan Trews" as these are high waisted (see Trews Waist above).
• Physically measure your waist size, do not rely on casual wear such as jeans or shorts.
• Formal trousers are worn higher than casual wear (up on the waist) so please measure just above your hip bones.
