Intro
In this Journal, we go through all the measurements needed for your Custom Thobe to be as perfect as possible.
Try your best to follow the instructions as accurately as possible. We genuinely want you to have an amazing thobe!
What you will need
You will need 3 main things:
- A tape measure
- Someone to measure you
- Just 2 minutes of your time
What to measure
There are 5 things you need to measure:
- Neck Circumfurence
- Shoulder Width
- Sleeve Length
- Chest Circumfurence
- Length
Neck
To measure the neck:
- Wrap the tape measure around the base of the neck
- Make sure it's not too tight, or too loose.
- Note the measurement down - make sure you keep the unit consistent for all the measurements
Shoulder Width
To measure the shoulder width:
- Stand with good posture
- Place the beginning of the tape measure on your right shoulder acromion bone - this is right where you would generally find the seam of a shirt or t-shirt
- Pull the measuring tape across the back of your neck to your left shoulder acromion bone - right where you would generally find the seam of a shirt or t-shirt
- Note the measurement down - make sure you keep the unit consistent for all the measurements
Sleeve Length
To measure the sleeve length:
- Stand with good posture - Back straight, look straight ahead with your arms relaxed by your side.
- Place the beginning of the tape measure on your right shoulder acromion bone - this is right where you would generally find the seam of a shirt or t-shirt
- Direct the measuring tape down the arm.
- Measure the point between the thumb knuckle and the middle of the wrist - this is important
- Note the measurement down - make sure you keep the unit consistent for all the measurements
Chest Circumfurence
To measure the chest circumfurence:
- Stand with good posture - Back straight, look straight ahead with your arms relaxed by your side.
- Wrap the tape measure round the fullest part of your chest from under the arms, right below the armpits.
- Make sure the tape measure is straight and not diagonal. Ensure it's not too tight or too loose.
- Note the measurement down - make sure you keep the unit consistent for all the measurements
Length
To measure the length:
- Stand with good posture - Back straight, look straight ahead with your arms relaxed by your side.
- Place the beginning of the tape measure at the highest part of the shoulder, right beside the base of the neck.
- Drop the tape measure down, make sure it goes over the thickest part of the chest.
- Take the measurement at the bottom - depending on how long you want the thobe you could take the measurement to your preference. We recommend taking it about 2/3 fingers above the top of your ankle
- Note the measurement down - make sure you keep the unit consistent for all the measurements
Alternatively, you could measure the length of a thobe that fits you well!
