Size chart and measurement guide

In Image Wear's stores, you can always get expert fitting help when looking for the right workwear size.

It is comfortable and safe to work in work clothes of the right size and fit. The easiest way to find the right size is by fitting. However, if you choose the size of the garment using the size chart, it is important to take measurements carefully. If taking measurements feels difficult, ask for help with the measurement. 

Measurement instructions

When choosing a product for yourself, remember the following points:
  • Put on slim-fitting clothes. You get the best result by wearing your underwear.
  • When measuring, leave your finger between the tape measure and the skin. This ensures some room for comfort.
  • The tape measure must not be tightened when measuring.

    Measurement instructions, how to take measurements for choosing the right size work clothes.

  • A - Neck circumference is measured around the neck with the tape measure passing over the pit of the neck (like a round neckline).
  • B - Measure the chest circumference close to the skin from the highest point of the chest, approx. 10 cm down from the armpit.
  • C - Waist circumference is measured 5-8 cm down from the navel, e.g. from the top of the waistband of boxers or underwear.
  • D - The hip is measured 18-20 cm lower than the waist, close to the skin at the widest part of the hip.
  • E - The inside length of the leg is measured from the crotch to the floor. As an aid, you can use, for example, a ruler, which you can place between your legs. In this case, a more accurate measurement is obtained, from the upper edge of the ruler to the floor.

The measurements needed for tailored clothes 

Made-to-measure clothing is made according to your measurements, so more measurements are needed. This is how we guarantee the fit of the garment just for you. 

Here's how to measure the top:

Image Wear Work clothes This is how you measure the top

  • 1 - Chest circumference is measured horizontally from the highest point of the chest around the body. 
  • 2 - Waist circumference is measured from the narrowest part of the waist.
  • 4 - The circumference of the lower pelvis is measured horizontally from the widest part of the pelvis. 
  • 5 - The shoulder and sleeve length is measured from the base of the neck over the top of the shoulder to the wrist bone to where you would like the shirt cuff to sit. Bend the elbow slightly to allow for extra ease. Measure behind the elbow. If, for example, the length of the shoulder is 16 cm and the total measurement is 82 cm, the actual length of the sleeve is 82 cm – 16 cm = 66 cm. 
  • 6 - Arm circumference is measured around the arm at the thickest part. 
  • 10 - The width of the back is measured horizontally from one armpit to the other. The measuring height is 1 cm above the armpit.
  • 11 - The length of the back is measured following the shape of the back from the neck to the waist.
  • 12 - The length of the jacket and shirt is measured following the shape of the back from the neck to the waist and from there until the desired length.
  • 13 - Neck circumference is measured around the neck so that the tape measure passes over the pit of the neck (like a round neckline).
  • 15 - The front length is measured from the base of the side of the neck over the top of the chest to the waist. Chest height = measurement from the base of the neck to the highest point of the chest.
  • 17 - It is important to know the person's entire height in order to be able to relate the measurement to other length measurements.

  • 8 - The inside length of the leg is measured from the crotch to the floor. As an aid, you can use, for example, a ruler, which you can place between your legs. n this case, a more accurate measurement is obtained, from the upper edge of the ruler to the floor.
