Understanding Measurements

When measuring yourself or others for customised clothing, accuracy is key. Use a fabric tape measure, and measure close to the body, but not too tightly, to get the most precise measurements. The following guide outlines the key measurements needed for most garments:

  • Chest/Bust: Measure around the fullest part of the chest or bust, ensuring the tape measure is level under the arms and across the back.
  • Waist: Measure around the natural waistline, where the body naturally bends. Keep the tape measure snug but not tight.
  • Hips: Measure around the fullest part of the hips, keeping the tape measure level and straight.
  • Inseam/Inside Leg: Measure from the top of the inside leg down to the ankle bone.
  • Neck: For shirts, measure around the base of the neck where a collar would sit.
  • Sleeve Length: Measure from the shoulder seam to the wrist bone.

Size Charts by Garment Type

We provide a variety of garment types for customisation, and each has a unique sizing chart. Open the Size Guide on your chosen product page to check that garment’s measurements before ordering.

Customised Clothing Size Guide

Selecting the right size for your customised clothing is crucial to ensure that your garments fit perfectly and look great with your personalised designs. This guide will help you navigate through the sizing process, so you can confidently choose the correct size for various types of clothing, including t-shirts, hoodies, polo shirts, jackets, and more.

Why Accurate Sizing Matters

Accurate sizing is important not only for comfort but also for the overall appearance of your customised clothing. Whether you're ordering for a team, company, or event, well-fitting garments ensure that everyone looks their best. Incorrect sizing can lead to discomfort and dissatisfaction, which is why it's essential to measure carefully before placing your order.

How to Measure

To determine the correct size, you'll need to take a few key measurements. It's best to use a flexible tape measure and measure directly on the body or over light clothing for accuracy. Here are the main measurements you'll need:

Chest/Bust:
Measure around the fullest part of the chest or bust, keeping the tape measure level across the back and under the arms.
Waist:
Measure around the natural waistline, which is typically the narrowest part of your waist.
Hips:
Measure around the fullest part of your hips, ensuring the tape measure is straight and level.
Inseam:
Measure from the top of the inside leg down to the bottom of the ankle for trousers and shorts.
Neck (for shirts):
Measure around the base of your neck where a shirt collar would sit comfortably.
Sleeve Length:
Measure from the top of the shoulder to the wrist, along the outer edge of the arm.

Size Charts by Garment Type

Each type of garment has its own specific size chart, as sizing can vary between styles and brands. Please note each brand has their own tolerance levels to accommodate for the manual nature of garment manufacture. If you'd like to know more about a particular brand or garments tolerance levels please get in touch with our knowledgeable customer service team.

Tips for Choosing the Right Size

  1. 1. Check Brand Specifics:

    Some brands have slight variations in sizing. Always refer to the specific size chart for the brand you are ordering to ensure accuracy.

  2. 2. Consider Fit Preferences:

    Think about how you like your clothing to fit. If you prefer a looser fit, you may want to size up, especially for items like hoodies and jackets.

  3. 3. Allow for Layering:

    When choosing sizes for outerwear, consider what you'll be wearing underneath. You may need a larger size if you'll be layering over bulkier clothing.

  4. 4. Review Return Policies:

    If you're unsure about sizing, check the return or exchange policies before ordering. Some customised items may be non-returnable, so it's crucial to get the size right.

Size Advice for Group Orders

When ordering customised clothing for a group, it's important to accommodate everyone's sizing needs. Consider collecting individual measurements from each person or providing them with the size guide to select their preferred size. It's also helpful to order a mix of sizes to ensure everyone has a suitable fit.
