 Garment Measurement
Customer may choose to provide finished garment measurements when needed:

- you are unsure of a measurement (such as Sleeve length, Garment back length, Pants waist, Crotch, Pants outseam) taken from the body, take it from a garment that fits well.

- ask to duplicate the fit of your best fitting garments.

Carefully following our garment measurement guide is important. All measurements should be taken to the nearest half (0.5) centimeter or quarter (0.25) inch.
