Measurement Help

[Blake686]

Hey everyone,

I'm hoping you can help me out and provide me a link to a good way to take my measurements. Is there a standard measurement rule that is used on B&S here? I usually go to the store and purchase clothing, but seeing the wealth of good stuff on B&S I'd like to start taking advantage of it.

P.S. I did try the search function but couldnt find anything concrete so help would be appreciated.

Chest is usually armpits across
underarm sleevelength from seam to bottom
full sleeve from top shoulderseam to bottom
shoulders across
across waist
top of jacket collar to bottom of jacket

Pants - across waist laid flat
across hips
Rise - from top of waistband to the bottom seam (by your balls)
inseam - from same ball seam to bottom hem of pants
pant width - across hem laid flat

Keep a paper handy with most of these measurements taken from clothes that fit you perfectly and compare when you see measurements listed.
