Taking measurements
(1) Neck Circumference: Put the tape around the neck and in the middle of Adam’s apple and sternal notch. Leave a forefinger spacing in the circle as shown in the above picture, read the data on the tape.
(2) Shoulder Width: Put tape along the shoulder arc, measure shoulder arc from the left shoulder point to the right shoulder point. The "shoulder point" is the place where shoulder seam and armhole seam meet on your well-fitting shirt.
(Remark: Shoulder arc is not a straight line. If you have a well-fitting suit jacket with a perfect shoulder width, it is better that you wear this jacket, then measure shoulder width according to the pictures above. )
(3) Sleeve Length: Place the tape on the shoulder point (where the shoulder seam and armhole seam meet on your well-fitting shirt). Measure from this shoulder point to the point of hand where thumb and forefinger meet. Keep your arms straight and relaxed.
(Remark: If you have a well-fitting suit jacket with perfect sleeve length, it is better that you wear this jacket, then measure sleeve length according to pictures above.)
