Having proper fitting apparel is important to you. To help you select the best-fit Dickies Workwear has created a sizing reference guide. If you require more size and fit information, contact your Dickies customer service representative at 800.336.7202.

MEASURING FOR PROPER FIT

The following guidelines are important to remember in measuring for proper fit.

• Give all measurements in inches.
  
• If the person’s measurements are between sizes, order the larger size. For example:  if a man’s neck measures 15¾” you should order size “large” in a short sleeve shirt  or a “16-16½” in a long sleeve shirt.
• For greatest accuracy, have someone take measurements rather than allowing  customers to measure themselves.
• The tape measure should be pulled snug, not tight.
• Check the size scale of all garments being ordered to ensure that all measurements    were taken at the proper points.

MEN’S SHIRTS

• NECK: Measurement is the circumference of the neck as illustrated.
  
• SLEEVE LENGTH: Measured by placing one end of the tape at the bottom of the  collar at the center of the back and marking the distance around the elbow to the  bottom of the wrist. It is often helpful to have the arm slightly bent.
• CHEST: Taken at the fullest point of the chest , keeping tape under arms and around  shoulder blades. Hold tape level and firmly but not tight.

MEN’S TROUSERS, JEANS AND BIB OVERALLS

• WAIST: Measurement is taken at the top of the hipbone over shirt (not over pants).  Tape should be held snug not tight.
  
• INSEAM: Measurement is taken from the base of the crotch to the top of the shoe or    boot. For jeans, add one inch.
• It is advisable to ask the person being measured how he or she wears their trousers.    Not everyone wears their trousers or jeans the same length or height on their hips.

JACKETS

• CHEST SIZE: Taken at the fullest point of the chest, keeping tape under arms and     around shoulder blades. This measurement should be taken over clothing,       preferably over same garment or types of garments to be worn with the jacket.
  
• SLEEVE LENGTH: Measured by placing one end of the tape at the bottom of the   collar at the center of the back and marking the distance around the elbow to the     outer edge of the wrist.

WOMEN’S WEAR

• CHEST: Measurement is taken at the fullest point of the bust. Measure across      shoulder blades with arms relaxed down at sides, keeping tape parallel to the floor.    Hold tape level and firmly but not tight.
  
• WAIST: Measurement is taken around the natural waistline. Keep the measuring  tape comfortably loose.
• HIP: Measurement is taken by standing with heels together. Keep tape straight and      parallel to the floor, measure around the fullest part.
