Measuring
for Custom Garments |
 Taking
Your Measurements
Never measure yourself. Get someone to help you.
Wear a pair
of tight fitting jeans and a t-shirt.
Empty your pockets and remove belt.
If jeans are not tight, pull up them
up to fit snug in the crotch area (important
for all measurements below the waist).
On measurements marked with X., use the Vanson Measuring Device (see details on following pages);
a second tape measure will also be required
for measuring.
Please do not be afraid to take a
measurement twice, especially on
critical measurements like chest, hips,
shoulder width and sleeve length.
Be sure to fill out the measurement check sheet, which helps to identify
and eliminate incorrect measurements.
After you have calculated and compared
your measurements, please note you are allowed
a 1" (+/-) difference on measurement
#12 (Nape Of Neck To Wrist), and 1/2"
(+/-) margin of error on all others.
Pull tape measure
snug and record your true measurements.
Do not adjust measurements for any
reason: instead, please explain any special
circumstances on a separate note and attach
it to the measuring form.
For example, please advise if:
you are a bodybuilder;
you have any physical conditions
we should be aware of;
you want extra room to accommodate
clothing.
If you will be wearing special braces,
body armor or
back protectors, please explain and
provide measurements both with and without
the braces / armor.
Please be sure to indicate your exact height, weight, and age in the appropriate
spaces on the
measuring form.
There is also a section where
you can indicate your riding position.
All measurements are needed for
a racing suit or Street/Track combo.
For custom jackets or pants,
please refer to the proper form to see
which measurements are needed.
HOW TO USE THE VANSON MEASURING DEVICE
 This
device is designed to assist
you in obtaining consistent
measurements. This is very important in order for us to make your garment
fit as it should. Use on all
measurements marked X. Secure the elastic
belt part of the device around
waist at bellybutton. Make sure
belt is parallel to the floor.
The elastic should be
a snug fit so it does not move
up and down. You can now snap
the tape to the tape slider
buckle.
Always stand up straight
and look forward while your
measurements are being taken.
Never look down at the person doing the measurement
as this will greatly affect
the accuracy. You will need
an additional dressmakers
tape measure.
Make sure that the elastic belt does not move
accidentally during measuring process.
