Measuring Guide for Boy’s Coats
- Neck: Wrap a measuring tape around the base of the neck, adding a bit of room for comfort. For coats, ensure there’s enough space for scarves or layered neck protection.
- Shoulder: Measure from the tip of one shoulder across to the other. A well-measured shoulder width helps the coat to drape naturally, allowing comfortable arm movement.
- Chest: Wrap the tape measure around the fullest part of the chest, just under the armpits. Leave enough room for layering, as coats are often worn over jumpers or shirts.
- Waist: Measure around the natural waistline, just above the belly button. It’s best to choose a slightly relaxed fit at the waist for ease of movement.
- Sleeve Length: Start from the edge of the shoulder and measure down to the wrist. Having him bend his arm slightly while measuring can give a more comfortable fit, ensuring that sleeves don’t ride up during wear.
Tips for Measuring Boys for Coats
- Layering Space: Choose a size that allows for layering with winter clothes.
- Coat Length: For colder weather, a longer coat length (hip or thigh) offers more warmth, while shorter styles work well in milder climates.
- Comfort and Movement: Ensure there’s enough room in the shoulders and chest for him to move easily, as coats should not restrict play or activity.
- Weather Considerations: Opt for thicker, insulated fabrics for winter coats, while lightweight but water-resistant options are better for transitional seasons.
- Growth Potential: Choosing a coat with a little extra room can accommodate growth and extend its usability over multiple seasons.
