Measurements

At Garb the World our clothing is designed to have an average amount of "ease" (i.e. roominess). For actual garment sizes please see our tables showing the amount of ease for each size.

Our pants are designed to fit somewhat loosely, one size smaller will fit close, and one size larger will be a baggy fit.

To measure yourself you will need a friend and a tape measure or string and ruler. (use the string to make the measurement, and then measure the string). It is best if you do not take your own measurements, however if you do then use a wall to record height and leg length, and then measure the wall.

All of our measurements are in inches. Here's a handy webpage to to convert centimeters to inches.

Please let us know if you have any questions or difficulties.
