SUGGESTIONS FOR TAKING MEASUREMENTS FOR WORK CLOTHES

How do you make sure that you take the measurements correctly? We always give four suggestions for taking measurements correctly:

Use a tape measure
Don’t pull the tape measure (too hard); this may cause the tape measure to stretch, leading to incorrect measurements
Don’t wear thick clothes when measuring
Let someone else take your measurements, so the measurements can be correctly read

TAKING MEASUREMENTS FOR WORK CLOTHES IN STEPS

STEP 1: MEASURING CHEST SIZE

The chest size is the widest point of the chest circumference. Measuring the chest size is different for men and women. Women must hold the tape measure at the height of their nipples for measuring the chest size, men must hold the tape measure just below their armpits for measuring the chest size.

STEP 2: MEASURING WAIST SIZE

The waist size can be measured by wrapping the tape measure around the (natural) waist. Your waist is the narrowest part of your upper body.

STEP 3: MEASURING HIP SIZE

Hip size is the widest point of the hips. Measure the size by wrapping the tape measure around the widest point of the hips.

BASIC FIT VS. SLIM FIT

Apart from measuring the size, choosing the fit is also important. Our work clothes with a slim fit fit tightly around the body and is therefore tighter. Do you prefer to wear your work clothes a little wider? Then choose the basic fit model! When choosing a fit, size does not play a role; the size is the same for both basic fit and slim fit.
