About Measuring

  • When taking measurements the tape should be held flat against the body; it should be held snug enough so not droop, but never so tight as to feel restrictive.
  • Do not add wiggle room to your measurements. We will adjust the fit based off of your selected preferences and build. All measurements are “skin measurements”.

1. Neck Measurement

  • Measure around your neck at the height where your collar, if buttoned, would be.
  • This measurement should be taken along the lower section of the neck, below your Adams Apple and above your Sternal Notch.
  • The tape should be comfortably touching the skin, with enough room so that you do not feel restricted.

2. Full Chest Measurement

  • Measure around the chest and body at its fullest part (typically right under the armpits and shoulder blades, right across the nipples).
  • Hold the tape against the body tight enough so that it does not slip down, but not so tight that it restricts breathing. It should be “snug”.
  • Make sure the tape is horizontal and the person’s arms are by their side; then take a normal breath and measure.
  • Do not puff out your chest
  • Double check this measurement.

3. Full Shoulder Width Measurement for MALE NANQUAN ONLY!!

  • Measure from the end of the right shoulder to the end of the left shoulder.
  • We define the “End of the Shoulder” as where the horizontal plane of the shoulder intersects the vertical plane of the arm.
  • Double check measurement.

4. Wrist Measurement TAIJIQUAN ONLY!!

  • Measure around the fullest part of the wrist.
  • You need only measure one side.

5. Trouser Waist Measurement

  • Measure around your waist at the level where you would normally wear your pant’s belt.
  • With the tape measure snug around your waist, relax, and take the measurement.

6. Trouser’s Outseam Measurement (Outside leg)

  • Measure from the top of your pant’s waistband to the floor along the outside of your leg.
  • Make sure the tape is tight, that you are standing straight, and then measure. No shoes please!
  • Double check this measurement.

7.Shoulder to elbow

  • Measure from the top of your shoulder to just above your elbow bone.

8.Your full height
