How to take measures

Shoulders

1. Start your tape measure at the back corner of one shoulder, just below where your clavicle ends.

2. Run it across the top of your shoulders, behind your neck and to the back corner of the other shoulder.

3. Make sure the tape follows the outline of the back touching the underside of the collar. Do not pull the tape measure tight.

JACKET WAIST

1. Run the tape measure around the fullest part of your waist.
2. Make sure the measuring tape remains aligned along the back.
