How to Measure For an Order

It is best to take measurements A, B, C and D from a garment which fits you well, such as a sweatshirt or simple sweater. Lay the garment out flat in a 'T' shape.

A : Measure across the front, just below the armhole and double the measurement.
B : Measure from the top of the neckband to the bottom of the welt.
C : Measure from the top of the sleeve to where it meets the front.
D : Measure from the centre back neck to the end of the cuff.

For waistcoats or slip-overs
(also optional shape for
"Celtic Pocket" jackets)
It's best to get someone to measure this for you, as it's an actual body size.
E : Measure across the back, between the bones at the edge of the shoulders.
