Size
& Measure
What size do
you need?
How does one
take measurements properly?
Those are the
questions everyone is concerned about when they are shopping online. They
are of special concern when you are ordering something custom made. You
want a good fit and we want to make and sell garments that FIT! So let's
work together to make that happen.
Use the guides
below in order to obtain the correct size and provide us with the correctly
taken measurements, BUT FEEL FREE TO CONTACT US FOR HELP. We are glad to assist
you by email elaine@wyomingclassics.com
or 406-961-4317
Since we are
working with patterns that were created as far back as the 1800's you can
imagine there is no real standard of sizing built in. We have to use
MEASUREMENTS and apply them to each garment to be sure that you have the correct
fit.
It is hard to
get that all down and pat on this page for every garment, but we will do our
best.
Scroll down
the page until you find the category that applies to your situation.
FOOTWEAR
All of our moccasins
are custom made for each person. That means we need an exact tracing of BOTH of
your feet to make them. You will need a helper for this one since it is
imperative that you stand upright and relaxed with feet slightly apart and
weight on BOTH feet.
-
You will
need to stand on 2 pieces of paper on a hard floor. If you plan to be
barefooted in the mocs or if you plan to be in some kind of socks when you
wear them, then that is how you need to be when you do the traces.
-
Have your
helper hold a pen or marker at a 90 degree angle to the floor. That must be
straight up and down and must stay that way or you will be getting a larger
trace or smaller than you ACTUAL foot.
-
Have the
helper trace around each foot including the toes and mark the tracings left
and right.
-
If you are
doing SHORT mocs of any kind this is enough.
FOR TALL MOCS
you must take 2 more measurements.
-
Measure from
the round ankle bone to the crux of the back of your slightly bent knee.
This tell us how tall to make the shaft.
-
Then measure
around your calves at the biggest point. They may not be the same so measure
both and give us both.
- Record these measurements
on the paper with the correct foot tracing.
If you need help just email
us or phone and we will guide you through.
Mens &
Boys Shirts, Jackets & Coats
-
Measure the
chest being careful not to have the tape to tight or loose.
-
Then measure
around waist. If you are not sure of where the natural waist is you can tie
a string around the persons waist area and let them move around a little. It
will settle on their waist.
- Measure hips at the
biggest point.
- Measure across the
shoulders in the back where a shirt yoke would be. Measure from sleeve cap
to sleeve cap across the back. This is easiest done by doing it with the
person wearing a shirt with set in sleeves that fits well.
- Measure sleeves 2 ways.
First have the person stand with outstretched arms as if they are airplane
wings. Then measure from the armpit to the wrist bone. Do both sides. Next
measure from the center of the back, over the bent elbow to the wrist bone.
This measurement should correspond to the sleeve length they buy in a dress
shirt. (ie: 16-34 with the 16 being the neck size and the 34 being the
sleeve size. )
- Then measure the neck.
First we need the actual neck measurement and then we need to have you
measure holding the tape around their neck as loose as need be for them to
have comfort room they desire. That will tell us how much fit room to make
in the collar as some folks like them snug and others up to 3 fingers need
to fit next to their neck with the collar buttoned.
