Heightcm
Take off your shoes and stand straight against a wall, heels together and shoulders relaxed. Have someone rest a flat object on the crown of your head, mark the wall, and measure from the floor to the mark in cm.
Measurement guide
How to measure yourself
Twelve numbers, one soft tape, about ten minutes. Wear light clothes, stand naturally, keep the tape snug but never tight — and note everything in centimetres.
Three ways to get your measurements
Prefer not to hold the tape yourself? Only one of the three ways needs it.
- Quick sizePick a standard size; we fine-tune in the fitting.
- Body measurementsMeasure yourself with a tape (guide included).
- In storeBook a fitting — we take every measurement for you.
Weightkg
Step on a scale set on a hard, flat floor, in light clothing and without shoes. Note the number in kilograms.
Neckcm
Wrap the tape around the base of your neck, right where a shirt collar would sit. Slip one finger between tape and skin so the collar will button without pinching, and read the number in cm.
Chestcm
Pass the tape under your armpits and around the fullest part of your chest, across the shoulder blades. Keep it level with the floor, breathe out gently, and read the number in cm.
Waistcm
Find your natural waist — the narrowest point of the torso, just above the navel — and wrap the tape around it. Keep one finger underneath so it stays comfortable, and read in cm.
Hipscm
Stand with your feet together and wrap the tape around the widest point of your hips and seat. Check in a mirror that it stays level all the way round, then read in cm.
Shoulder widthcm
Measure across the back, from the bony corner of one shoulder to the other, following the slight curve of the shoulders. Ask someone to take this one for you — it is hard to reach alone.
Sleeve lengthcm
Let your arm hang relaxed with a slight bend at the elbow. Measure from the corner of the shoulder, over the elbow, down to the wrist bone, in cm.
Jacket lengthcm
Measure from the base of the collar — the bump at the top of your spine — straight down the back to where you want the jacket to end, classically just covering the seat. Read the number in cm.
Trouser waistcm
Measure around the point where you actually wear your trousers — usually a little below the natural waist, around the hip bones. Keep the tape comfortably snug and read in cm.
Inseamcm
Measure along the inside of the leg, from the very top at the crotch seam down to where you want the hem — usually where the shoe begins. A well-fitting pair of trousers, measured flat, gives the same number.
Thighcm
Stand naturally with your weight on both feet and wrap the tape around the fullest part of your upper thigh, just below the seat. Read the number in cm.
