How To Measure

Top Tips

Harveys Workwear

Some tips from our experts

  • Use a soft tape measure (cloth or flexible plastic)
  • Wear light clothing or undergarments while measuring
  • Keep the tape measure snug, but not tight
  • Always measure in centimetres and inches unless otherwise stated
  • If possible, ask someone to help for better accuracy

IMPORTANT
If you’re requesting embroidery, please measure carefully before ordering. Once a garment has been embroidered, it cannot be returned unless faulty.

Still Unsure?
Every product page includes garment-specific measurements and a full size chart. If you’re between sizes or just want a second opinion, we’re always happy to help.
