Getting the Right Size

Please note: For Beachlands School customers, there is a full sample sizing set available at the school office if you need to try on.

Getting the right fit - general advice for all customers is as follows:

Even though the majority of merchandise sourced by EmbroidMe comes from a few selected manufacturers the sizes of the various garments may differ.

Each garment will have "half chest" measurements displayed in addition to the standard S,M,L or ladies 8,10, 12 etc.

Work out the half chest measurement from a similar garment the intended wearer is already comfortable with and you can be sure the correct size is ordered. So, what is half chest and how do you work it out?

Most upper body garment sizes are quoted as "half-chest" measurement, in centimetres. Half chest is a standard measure for clothing, and refers to the distance from one armpit to the other when the garment is laying flat. Be sure to measure like for like - if you are fitting for polo shirts measure a polo shirt, for a jacket measure a jacket and so on.
