The seat measure is taken fully around the seat ensuring the tape is fully over the largest area of the buttocks.
Jacket Length
The jacket length is a measure from the base of the collar along the centre back seam to the bottom of the jacket.

The shoulder measure is taken from the position where the centre back seam meets the collar, taken directly across to the sleeve seam where the shoulder seam meets with it.
Sleeve Measure
Continue with the shoulder measure down to the position half way across the cuff to give an overall sleeve measure.
