Men's Length Guide

How to Measure

Use a soft, flexible measuring tape. Measure directly on your skin or over light clothing. If you don't have a flexible measuring tape, you can use a piece of string by wrapping it around the area you're measuring, marking the spot where it meets, and then lay it flat on a ruler to measure. Alternatively, you can measure a well-fitting piece of clothing with a regular tape measure and compare the measurements to your body.

1 Arm length
With elbows slightly bent, measure from the center back of neck (at the base), across the top of the shoulders, down the arm, to the wrist. Keep your arm relaxed and slightly bent while measuring.

2 Chest
Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape parallel to the ground and comfortably under your arms. Make sure the tape is snug, but not tight. Relax your arms by your sides while measuring.

3 Waist
Measure around the narrowest part of your waist, usually just above your belly button (This will be the crease created from bending). Stand naturally and keep the tape a bit loose. Don’t suck in your stomach.

4 Hips
Measure around the fullest part of hip/seat circumference below your natural waistline. Stand with your feet together and make sure the tape is parallel to the floor and comfortably snug.

5 Inseam (pants)
Measure along the inside leg from crotch to ankle. Stand straight with your feet slightly apart.

    - Shawn S.

  • Great shirt, comfortable, absorbs sweat like nothing and feels nice on the skin. I recently went on a six-hour hike and was drenched with sweat but didn’t notice until I got to my car to change and saw my shirt was really wet, during the hike I didn't feel a thing even in the cold wind.
