Measuring Guide for Boy’s Jacket Sizes
1. Neck:
- Wrap the tape measure around the base of the neck, leaving slight slack to ensure comfort, as jackets should allow movement.
2. Shoulder:
- Measure across the back, from the edge of one shoulder to the other, at shoulder level to get an accurate fit for jacket width.
3. Chest:
- Place the tape measure around the fullest part of the chest, under the arms, keeping it parallel to the ground to ensure enough room for layering.
4. Waist:
- Measure around the natural waistline, usually just above the belly button, allowing slight slack for added comfort.
5. Sleeve Length:
- Start at the shoulder’s edge and measure down to the wrist. Be sure to have the child keep their arm slightly bent for a realistic fit, as a straight-arm measurement may be too short.
Tips for Accurate Jacket Measurement
- Use a Flexible Tape Measure: This allows for smooth measurements around the chest, neck, and waist.
- Allow Room for Growth: Jackets tend to be seasonal, so opting for one size up allows room for growth and winter layers.
- Consider the Jacket’s Fit and Purpose: Choose a slightly larger fit for winter jackets for layering. Lightweight jackets, however, can fit closer to the body.
- Double-Check Key Measurements: For jackets, shoulder and chest measurements are particularly important for a good fit.
- Check Sleeve Length with Arm Movement: To avoid sleeves that rise when arms are lifted, ensure sleeve length is measured with a slightly bent arm.
