Men's Measurement Guide

Measuring Tape

First, you will need to acquire measuring tape. You can purchase some online (Amazon) or at your local store, such as CVS pharmacy.

It is possible to take your measurements without this tool, but more difficult. See these instructions for that.

Pants

Grab the pair of pants that fits you the best from your closet. On the label, the first number is the Width (W), the second number is the length (L or "inseam").

Neck

This measurement is taken around the neck with the measuring tape resting on your shoulders. Put one finger between the tape and skin if you would like some extra space in your fitting.

Shoulder to Shoulder

The shoulder width is measured from armpit to armpit. However, you should pull the middle part of the tape a little bit above your initial recording spot up to your shoulder height creating a slight arc with the tape.

Hips

Outseam

Measure your outseam by measuring from the top of your wrist band to the desired length down the side of your leg.

Shoes

With your socks on, trace the base of your foot on a piece of paper or other material. You can then use the measuring tape to measure the length and width of your shoe. Or, grab your favorite pair of shoes and look at the label!

Hat

To measure hat size, place the measuring tape around your head. Try to place it around an eight (⅛) of an inch above your ears. If your measurement happens to fall between two sizes, choose the largest one. *Sizing table at the bottom of the page*

Glove

Measure the circumference around the palm of your hand. If your measurement happens to fall between two sizes, choose the largest one. *Sizing table at the bottom of the page*

Ring

You can print some printable ring sizers. If not, cut a piece of string or paper and wrap it around your finger at the base of the knuckle. Mark where the ends overlap and lay it flat to later on measure in mm. If your measurement happens to fall between two sizes, choose the largest one.
