How do I measure myself for Rooster gear?
Use a flexible tape over close-fitting clothing, snug but not tight, standing naturally. Chest: around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape level under your arms and across your shoulder blades. Waist: around your natural waistline, the narrowest part of your torso, typically just above your belly button. Hip: standing with your feet together, around the fullest part of your hips and buttocks. Inside leg (inseam): from the top of your inside leg, at the crotch, down to your ankle bone. Height: standing against a wall with your feet flat, from the top of your head to the floor.
