How to Measure
Neck / Collar
Measure around the base of the neck where the collar sits.
Chest
Measure the total circumference of your chest at its fullest point, just under your armpit.
Waist
Place your hands on your hips and bend to the side. The indent on your side as you bend is your natural waist. Measure the total circumference at this point.
Waist - Jeans
Measure your circumference at a point about two inches (5cm) below the belly button.
Hip
Stand with your feet 6” (15cm) apart. Measure the total circumference at the fullest point of your hip.
Sleeve Length
With your elbow slightly bent, starting at your middle neck bone, measure to the point of your shoulder and down to your wrist bone. Or take a shirt that fits well and take the same measurement.
Inseam
Stand with your feet 6” (15cm) apart. Measure from the top of the leg/crotch to below the ankle. Or take a pair of pants that fit well and take the same measurement.
Foot Length
Step 1: Tape a piece of paper to the floor, stand on this making sure you are stood on the hard, flat surface. Push your heel up against the wall.
Step 2: Get someone to draw around the forepart of your foot with a pen or pencil. Repeat for both feet as they could measure differently.
Step 3: Measure the length of the heel to toe measurement for both feet. Compare the measurement to the size chart.
Foot Width
Step 1: Stand up straight and distribute your weight evenly on your feet.
Step 2: Wrap a measuring tape around the widest part of your foot - for most people this will be the joint, which is located just before your toes.
Step 3: Make sure the tape is not slack but not too tight. Then read off your measurement and compare it on the size chart.

Dress Shirts
There two types of sizing for dress shirts:
1. Numeric sizing, based on neck (and arm/sleeve length).
For example, a label showing two numbers: 14 ½ followed by 36/37, means that this dress shirt fits someone with neck size 14 ½ inches and chest size 36-37 inches.
2. Alpha sizing (XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL, etc), mostly based on chest dimensions of the person.
You can use your body measurements and the charts below to find your generic dress shirt size. Keep in mind, since sizes vary widely across brands, regions (US, Europe, Asia, etc), and styles (traditional/class fit, modern fit, slim fit, extra/super slim fit, etc), it's always a good idea to check against brand specific size charts and find your best fit.

US men's jeans ares usually labeled in numeric sizes, using a format like W (width or waist circumference) x L (length of inside leg or inseam).
For example, 34 x 32 means 34 inches waist circumference and 32 inches inseam inside leg length.
Some brands also use alpha sizes, such as XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL.
The generic size charts below provide useful measurement reference on standard jean sizes. Since sizes vary greatly across different brands and styles, be sure to visit the brand specific size charts to find your best match.
