Helmets
Measure the largest portion of your head by wrapping a cloth tape measure
horizontally around your head approximately one inch above your eyebrows and
ears.
If your head size is between two helmet sizes, first try the smaller size. A
Helmet should fit snugly. You should not be able to move the helmet easily from
side to side and up and down without moving your head with the chin strap
fastened. If it is not snug, it is too big for you. Try a size smaller. Be
aware that different helmets fit different head shapes.
Jackets, Shirts, Pants and Suits
It is best to have someone help you take your measurements for a jacket, shirt,
pants, or a suit. Stand straight with your feet roughly six inches apart. Take
all measurements from the same side of the body.
Don't confuse European and American sizes. Be sure to check the brand’s size
chart for the U.S. size equivalent before ordering. For example, a U.S. size 46
jacket is a European size 56. European clothing sizes are typically 10 higher
than the U.S. size.
Sleeve
With your arm slightly bent, measure from your neck bone, over your shoulder
and elbow, to your wrist bone. This is also called Center Back (CB) Sleeve
length.
Chest
Measure the largest total circumference of your chest. Keeping the tape
parallel to the floor, measure from under your arm pits and across your breast
bone and back with your arms relaxed.
Waist
Bend to one side while standing in front of a mirror. Your natural waist is
where your body creases. Relax and keep the tape measure parallel with the
floor while measuring around your natural waist line.
Hip
Measure the total circumference at your hip’s largest point. Keep tape measure
parallel to the floor, and relax when taking measurement.
Inseam
Stand straight and relax while measuring the total length of the inside seam
from your crotch to your ankle.
Outseam
Measure the length of the outside seam from your waist to your ankle.
Center Back (CB) Length
Measureme from your neck bone, down your spine to your waist.
Boots
Boots are sized in typical US measurements. If you usually wear a half size,
order the next size larger for boots that are only offered in full sizes.
Gloves
Measure the circumference around your dominant hand across your palm and just
behind your knuckles without including your thumb. If the measured size of your
hand is in between sizes of the gloves that interest you, choose the size
larger for a loose fit and the smaller size if you like a tighter fit. Remember
that leather gloves break in and stretch after some use.
