By taking your measurements from an existing shirt which fits you particularly well, you can achieve the same fit for a new shirt. With your shirt laid on a flat surface, follow the steps below using a measuring tape. You can make small adjustments to each measurement should you feel the need to do so.
Measurements can be taken in inches or in centimeters and are saved as a measurement profile in your account. This means that you can use your measurement profile to order the same shirt repeatedly or create a new style of shirt without the need to re-enter measurements.
