Measurement Guide
|
|
Size A - Collar. If you
don't already know your collar size then place the measuring tape around your
neck at the point where your shirt collar would sit. This size should be very
loose giving yourself plenty of room to move. This size should be around 2
inches larger than your actual neck size. Size B - Chest Size. Hold
your arms out about 2 feet from your body, then place the tape measure around
your body, just below your armpits. This size should be loose, now add 1.5
inches to your size, this will be your jacket size. Size C - Arm Length. You can
either measure the outside arm length on a good fitting jacket that you may
have or run your tape from the top of your arm down to your wrist bone. Size D - Kilt Waist. This
size should be taken over your shirt. Wrap the tape around your body at the
point just above your navel, pull the tape very tight then slacken it back
until it feels comfortable but very firm. The larger the gent the more the
tape will sink into the body, this is normal for if this size is not tight
enough the Kilt will start to slip down when moving around. Size E - Kilt Drop. At the
same point as the Kilt waist (size D - just above the navel) measure down to
between top of the kneecap and the mid kneecap, this size will be the length
of the Kilt. It is very important that
you measure straight down (as photo) and not across the body at an angle. Size F - Shoe Size. Simply
the size of shoe you require. Size
G - Inside Leg. This is your inside leg measurements for
your tartan Trews. This size is optional, Trews can be received un-hemmed and tacked to length by
yourself once you try them on. Size H - Your Height. This is important; it will help us to determine if your Kilt length measurement is accurate. |
