How to Measure

Diagram showing where to measure chest, natural waist, and hips.

CHEST:

Measure just under arms and across shoulder blades holding the tape firm and level. If your chest falls between sizes, order the next size up.

NATURAL WAIST:

Bend side to side and find the natural bend in your body; this is your natural waist. Note: It may not be the smallest point.

HIPS:

Measure the fullest point between your natural waist and crotch.

Note: For best results measure over your undergarments. Use a cloth measuring tape.

Fits

relaxed fit: slim across shoulder, closer to body, shortened sleeve, shorter length Loose Fit: dropped shoulder, ease at body, longer sleeve, longer length

CARHARTT
I'm a huge fan of Carhartt, and my entire wardrobe is basically Carhartt gear. The quality and durability are unmatched. I've put their clothes through some serious work, and they always hold up."One thing to note is that their stuff tends to run large. I'm usually a large in most brands, but I size down to a medium with Carhartt. Definitely something to keep in mind when ordering. Overall, amazing brand!"
