How to measure your chest

  • Use a soft tape measure, over a thin t-shirt or nothing at all.
  • Put the tape around the fullest part of your chest, under your arms and across your shoulder blades.
  • Keep it level and snug, but not tight.
  • Stand relaxed with your arms down and breathe normally.
  • It's easier with someone to help.

Between two sizes?

If your chest falls on the line between two sizes, say 38 inches, go up a size for a more relaxed fit. Go up too if you like wearing a hoodie over other layers.
