How to measure

How to measure yourself for jacket ordering.

Use a measuring tape and measure around your chest (at nipples level).

With the arms relaxed and down at the side, measure around the shoulders just above the biceps. (Don’t take this measurement yourself, ask somebody else to help you so that you have both your arms down at the sides during measurement).
