SIZING CONVERSION CHART

* take measurements wearing the same undergarments you intend to wear with this garment, and take the fullest part of your body (be it the chest, stomach, or hips) into account for the most accurate measurement

 * Please note the weight row is provided as a best guess option and should only be used when this is the only measurement provided.

How to Take Measurements for a Perfect Fit

For most of these measurements, you will require someone to help measure and read the measurements. 

Remember to ask someone you are comfortable with and to respect everyone’s comfort levels. It is beneficial to discuss the measurement process briefly beforehand to ensure everyone is comfortable and you are able to get an accurate measurement.

Chest: 

• Stand in a straight, natural position
• Lift your arms up, parallel to the ground
• Using a tape measure, wrap the tape around the fullest part of the chest
• Then, drop your arm down naturally to your waist and measure the side

Sleeves:

• Hold arms parallel to the floor
• Bend your arm slightly into the chest, towards the collarbone, to test range of motion
• Start the tape measure at the base of the neck, then measure across to the shoulder
• Continue the tape measure down to the elbow, then down to the wrist bone
• Measurement should end where you want the garment to sit at the cuffs, ensure your arms will be fully covered and protected while endings before extra fabric becomes a nuisance or hazard

Waist:

• Remove any belts or any items from the waistband and pocket area
• Take measurements over the shirt (or any other garment) that will be worn under the garment you measure for
• Stand straight in a natural, relaxed position
  • Ensure the individual isn’t holding in their stomach so the garment can be comfortable at all times 
• Measure around the waist, just below the belly button
  • Remember that uniform pants are usually worn higher than casual pants for enhanced mobility and flexibility on the job 
• Hold the measuring tape snug to the individual’s waist, but not too tight
  • Allow two fingers between the measuring tape and the waist for some give 

• Keep in mind that everybody is unique
  • Measure the fullest part around the abdomen to ensure the garment will fit the widest part of an individual’s body snug and comfortably
