Measurements for sheepskin outerwear.

If you are looking for a sheepskin jacket or coat to fit perfectly and be worn with complete comfort, you need to choose the right size for yourself. All measurements should be taken in “centimeters”. When buying outerwear we also recommend taking measurements in underwear, for example  a T-shirt.

For more accurate measurements, please use a soft tape measure.

Further abbreviations:

CW - Chest Width

HC - Hip circumference 

WC - Waist circumference

GL - Garment length.

To determine your chest size, the tape measure should pass horizontally around the chest, through the armpits, behind the line of the shoulder blades, and in front - along with the protruding points.

HC is measured strictly horizontally along with the protruding parts of the thighs, considering the convex belly line. 

In order to measure WC, the measuring tape should pass along the waistline at the narrowest point. Do not tighten the edges of the measuring tape too much. 

GL is measured from the 7th neck bone along the back (pressing the measuring tape) to the desired length.

After you have taken all the necessary measurements, write down all the parameters obtained. Now carefully study the size chart and choose the most suitable option.

Taking your measurements as accurately as possible guarantees that you will receive an item of your size!

Detailed instructions.

With detailed instructions, you can take into account all your features (for example, broad shoulders, long arms, etc.) and order an item that fits you perfectly. Carefully study the size chart and choose the most suitable option. Make sure that the dimensions of the selected product are indicated in centimeters.

Make sure that the measuring tape is taut enough against the body, and is not too loose. Use the following measurements to determine your size:

GL - The length of the product is measured from the 7th neck bone along the back (pressing the measuring tape at waist level) to the desired length. (picture)

HC is measured strictly horizontally along with the protruding parts of the thighs, considering the convex belly line. 

CW - the chest width is measured horizontally around the chest, through the armpits, behind the line of the shoulder blades, and in front - along with the protruding points.

WC - Waist circumference is measured at the narrowest point. To do this, it is desirable to tie a belt or lace around the waist. The measurement is taken for fitted products. If the waist exceeds the girth of the chest or hips, the measurement is taken necessarily!

SL - the length of the sleeve is taken from the point of connection of the neck with the shoulder to the desired length of the sleeve. 

SL - shoulder length is measured from the base of the neck to the shoulder joint.

BW - the width of the back is measured along the line of the shoulder blades from hand to hand, taking into account the widest part of the back. This measurement must be particularly accurate, do not tuck the measuring tape under the armpits.

How to determine the size of your shoes?

We take a simple pencil and put our foot on an A4 sheet. Hold the pencil vertically and mark the point of the heel and thumb. Then we measure this segment at the extreme points. Write down and find in the table the length of the foot corresponding to the received length - determine your size. 

How to determine the size of the headwear?

To wear a hat with pleasure, whether it is a sheepskin shearling bucket hat or a sheepskin fur hat with earflaps, you need to determine correctly your head size. To do this, wrap the soft tape around the head, along the line just above the eyebrows and the most protruding part of the back of the head. The measuring tape should not be loose or overtightened. The result in centimeters will be your size. 

Taking your measurements as accurately as possible guarantees that you will receive items of your size!
