STANDARD SIZE MEASUREMENT GUIDE
How to Measure?
1): Height of a Person: For exact measurement of your height, stand next to a wall. Put a ruler horizontally on the head and spot the point where the ruler touches the wall. Measure the space from the floor to that spot.
2): Waist Length: Measure from the down back to the base of the collar to the waist point.
3): Sleeve Length: Relax your arm leaving the elbow slightly bent, and then measure from over the shoulder point towards the down outside of arm and elbow to the wrist. For better measurement, do not make the tape too tight.
4): External Leg Length: Measure from the top of the waistband on trousers, down to the bottom (end of trousers).
5): Crotch to Ground: Evolve your body in a measuring taunt and measure from the lowest part of crotch down to the ground.
