Measurement Guide¹

These are very close fitting garments. It is best to be in the raw when having your measurements taken. If possible, have someone help you out when taking measurements. If ordering custom fitted garments, please describe your general build (athletic, mature, short, tall, etc.) and any particular fitting problems you may have (large abdomen, large seat, leg stance,body stance, etc.)

Custom fitting is available on all garments. Please supply personal measurements as given in this guide.

Custom made garments cost 20% more than standard sizes.
