Measurement

Person's height: cm

Chest circumference (OH): cm

Measure around the chest where it is largest, usually right across the nipples. Breathe normally.

Additional Notes:

Stomach circumference: cm

Measure around the stomach, in line with the navel (belly button). Please be careful that the measuring tape does not shift down to where you would wear your pants. It must stay in line with the navel. Now place your string or ribbon in your mid-section, and this will represent your Stomach circumference, going forward. We will refer to this string or ribbon below. See model.

Additional Notes:

Waist Circumference (OPk): cm

Measure around the waist, at the point where you want your trousers to rest. Breathe normally. This measurement will determine the top of the pants, and is unique to you and your body type. The difference between this measurement and your stomach circumference (circumference around your navel, taken earlier) can be anywhere between 0 to 15 cm, on occasion even more.

Additional Notes:

Buttocks (OS): cm

Measure around the largest point of the buttocks. Please make sure your tape measure is snug, but not tight for this measurement.

Additional Notes:

Neck circumference (OK): cm

Measure around the base of the neck. The tape shouldn't feel tight around your neck. This measurement is used for correctly sizing your shirt collar.

Additional Notes:

Neck circumference - 2nd measurement (OK2): cm

Measure around the mid-part of the neck (the thinnest), immediately under the Adam's apple. This measurement is important for any clothing with a high collar, turtleneck etc.

Additional Notes:

Shoulder Pad (R): cm

Measure the shoulder pad from the bottom of the neck to the end of the shoulder where the sleeves fall away from the shoulder. When measuring, place the tape measure over the thumb, with the thumb placed at the end of your shoulder; this measurement technique is important in case padding is needed. In this example, the measurement on the model is 15 cm. It is very important to place the beginning of the tape measure at the base of the neck.

Additional Notes:

Shoulder including sleeve measurement (DRR): cm

We are continuing with the previous measurement (Shoulder Pad – DRR measurement), by starting at the base of the neck continuing past where the sleeve falls away at the end of the shoulder (the thumb should still be there) and down the upper arm, around the elbow (while the elbow is bent), down the forearm to your wrist bone, and finally ending about 4cm past the wrist bone (this is where the sleeve would end). Usually sleeve ends about 3-5 cm past the wrist.

Additional Notes:

Back Length (DZ): cm

Measure from bottom of the neck to waist (this is the Stomach Circumference that runs in line with navel). Sometimes it is helpful to tie a string around your mid-section representing the Stomach Circumference, so that you know where to end the measurement tape when taking this Back Length measurement. See the model shown on photo.

Additional Notes:

This measurement is always important, for construction of the garment.

Additional Notes:

Trouser Length (BDKs): cm

Measure down the outside of the leg. Start at the desired waist level and measure down to where you want the trousers to end. Note: on occasion it is possible that this Trouser Length measurement is same or very close to the previous Side Outseam measurement, in that case, the desired garment will have a high waist, which some find preferable.

Measure around your thigh at its widest point. This is usually about 2 – 10cm below your crotch.

Additional Notes:

Trouser Inseam (DKR): cm

Measure from the lowest part of your crotch area to the floor. Make sure the tape is tight along the inside of your leg, that you are standing straight, and then measure. No shoes please! It is very important that this measurement is correct.

Tracing your foot (OCH)

Stand on barefoot, with your weight on the foot being traced, on a piece of paper, and on a hard smooth surface. Be sure that your toes are somewhat spread out, like they would extend when you take a step. Be careful while tracing not to move your foot. Using a pencil and holding it vertically to the paper, trace your foot. The pencil line should be very close to your foot. Your outline should have one solid line, be sure to include any small bumps; for example on the back of your heel, if you have any. Remember to keep you pencil vertically and close to your foot, at all times, and just trace. When done, look at your outline and see if one foot is bigger than the other, be certain that in reality it is, as that is how the shoes will be made. Please label each foot with “L” for left and “R” for right foot.

Please send your foot outlines, on the your original paper, to this address: Textiler, Záhumenní 214, 708 00 Ostrava Poruba.
