SIZE CHARTS AND FITTING HELP MEASURING FOR PROPER FIT
§
Give all measurements in inches. §
If the person’s measurements are between sizes, order the
larger size. For example: if a man’s neck measures 15¾ inches you should
order size “large” in a short sleeve shirt or a “16-16½” in a long sleeve
shirt. §
For greatest accuracy, have someone take measurements rather
than allowing customers to measure themselves. §
The tape measure should be pulled snug, not tight. §
Check the size scale of all garments being ordered to ensure
that all measurements were taken at the proper points. MEN'S SHIRTS §
NECK measurement is the circumference of the neck as
illustrated. §
SLEEVE LENGTH is measured by placing one end of the tape at
the bottom of the collar at the center of the back and marking the distance
around the elbow to the bottom of the wrist. It is often helpful to have the
arm slightly bent. §
CHEST is taken at the fullest point of the bust, keeping tape
under arms and around shoulder blades. Hold tape level and firmly but not
tight. MEN’S TROUSERS,
JEANS AND BIB OVERALLS §
WAIST is taken at the top of the hipbone over shirt (not over
pants). Tape should only be held snug, do not hold tape tight. §
INSEAM is taken from the base of the crotch to the top of the
shoe or boot. For jeans, add one inch. §
It is advisable to ask the person being measured how he or she
wears their trousers. Not everyone wears their trousers or jeans the same
length or height on their hips. MEN'S COVERALLS §
CHEST SIZE is taken at the fullest point of the chest, keeping
tape under arms and around shoulder blades. This measurement should be taken
over clothing, preferably over same garment or types of garments to be worn
with the coveralls. §
LENGTH: We suggest using your same inseam measurement for
pants, but subtracting 1 to 2 inches to accommodate Dickies lower crotch
construction. JACKETS §
CHEST SIZE is taken at the fullest point of the chest, keeping
tape under arms and around shoulder blades. This measurement should be taken
over clothing, preferably over garments or types of garments to be worn with
the jacket. §
SLEEVE LENGTH is measured by placing one end of the tape at
the bottom of the collar at the center of the back and marking the distance
around the elbow to the outer edge of the wrist.
