How to measure TALL GUY garments

HOW WE MEASURE GARMENT CHEST SIZE

You will notice on many of our products when you look through this website that we have recorded the individual brand chest size.

We have for your information included these alongside the product details.

For reasons of simplicity, we have measured from "under arm to under arm". This measurement is then doubled to give an actual chest measurement.

For example: Where a garment measures 75cm across the "face side" of the chest, we will record the Chest as 150cm (double 75cm). These measurements may vary slightly from style to style within a Brand.

We recommend you measure your best fitting garment (at home) and then compare that to the information provided, prior to making a size selection.

 

HOW WE MEASURE GARMENT ARM LENGTH


Lay the garment face down.

We measure the arm length from the centre of the back (under the collar of a shirt) to the shoulder and then follow the shoulder to the cuff.

We have seen some Tall online stores suggest to measure from the shoulder to cuff only but this simply does not take into account that the shoulder width has a bearing on the overall sleeve length.

 

HOW WE MEASURE GARMENT BODY LENGTH.

We Measure body length from the centre of the back (under the collar of a shirt) to the tail of the shirt.

 

HOW TO MEASURE YOURSELF

 

WHICH SIZE SHOULD I CHOOSE?

All products are sold by the international sizing scheme used by the designer/brand. 

As X sizing can vary considerably at times between different brands and styles, a size guide is provided in the description of each individual item that is sold in X sizes. Simply browse through our products and find what you like, then open the product page to see what size you need.

Most of our trousers and shorts are sized by the waist measurement in centimeters. Some of the trousers will have a "T" or "XL" after them, for example 87T or 102XL. This means "tall" and "extra long" and both will have extra length in the leg and an average inseam of 98cm.

We understand that finding the right size is the most confronting task of buying online. We have worked very hard on trying to develop a method to ascertain a garments true size, please contact us if you require further clarification.

HOW TO TAKE YOUR MEASUREMENTS

Neck - Measure around the base of the neck, allowing a finger width of room

Chest - Measure loosely around the broadest part of the chest

Waist - Measure tightly around the waist , where you wear your trousers

Hips - Measure around the seat (bum) and top of thighs , firmly measure

Sleeve - Measure from the centre back (under the collar) to shoulder point then to wrist/cuff

Leg - Measure from the crutch to the cuff of the trouser (inside leg)

Here we are assuming you have an accurate cloth measuring tape, a metal tape measure or ruler is not going to cut it! If you do not have one of these then you can purchase them from any haberdashery or fabric store. 

The most accurate way of measuring is to take garments that fit well...lay them out and then measure them.

You can then either email the results to us at sales@https://www.tallguy.com.au or look at the brand specification chart above and make a decision on your size.
