Next to the description of each measurement are two numbers. These denote the typical (medium) length for that measurement. The format is inches / cm. Use this as a reference to be sure your measurement makes sense.
A few tips for successful measuring:
Height
With no shoes on, stand erect against a wall and
record the point that is in-line with the top of your head. (69 /175)
Weight
Stand on a scale- don’t guess. (160 /72.5)
Chest
Measure across nipples or below breasts. (40 /102)
Waist
Measure at navel. (32 /81)
Torso
Place your finger tips into your arm pit and move your hand
down the side of your body until you feel the high point of the hip bone.
Leave your hand here and have your assistant measure from the hollow point
at the base of your throat (just below the adam’s apple) to the point you just located
on your hip. (20 /51)
Leg Strap
Place the tape at the same point on your hip used for
the Torso measurement and pass it around your leg as a leg strap would go.
Do not pull too tight and be sure you do not have a wallet in your pocket. (33 /84)
Inseam
With feet shoulder width apart and no shoes on,
measure from the crotch to the floor in a straight line. (32 / 81)
