To measure a man's suit sleeve, you'll need a tape measure and a helper for best results. Here's how it's done:
Step-by-Step Guide
According to the reference provided, here's a breakdown:
- Relax the Arms: Ensure the person being measured is standing with their arms relaxed at their sides.
- Locate the Starting Point: Place the beginning of the tape measure at the back of the neck, specifically the center point.
- Measure Across the Shoulder: Run the tape measure over the top of the shoulder towards the arm.
- Measure Down to the Elbow: Hold the tape measure at the shoulder point, then continue the measure down to the elbow. Note this measurement.
- Continue to the Wrist: Now from the elbow, extend the tape measure down to where you would like the sleeve to end at the wrist, typically just above the wrist bone.
Understanding Sleeve Length
- The measurement is taken from the center of the back of the neck, over the shoulder, down to where the sleeve should end at the wrist.
Note: It is always best to have someone else take the measurement for you so that you can be sure your arm remains relaxed.
