Measure Sleeve Length - Step By Step

There is no denying that well-fitted shirts give a fantastic look. And if you are wondering why bother that much just for the shirt fitting, let us answer why?

First of all, a well-fitted shirt will not create a lasting impression but also boost confidence in you. And secondly, people around you won’t take you lightly.

With this in mind, let’s learn how to measure sleeve length.

You need to know that every person's sleeve length varies, and the brand that sells clothes has its size chart, so finding the right size won’t be a problem.

But if you want to measure your sleeve length, then the first thing you need to know is that the sleeve length always measures from the neck’s nape to shoulder and then shoulder to wrist. So to get the right sleeve length size, you need to have these two measurements.

Now let’s look at how to measure these two things adequately.

1. To take the measurement, you will need assistance, as taking measures on your own can be a little tricky. Further, it is best to keep yourself relaxed while your friend/someone is taking measurements. All you have to do is stand up in a comfortable position with your arms at your side.
2. Then the next thing to do is measure the length of the shoulder from the neck's nape. After getting the measurement, it is best to note it down on paper.
3. The second step is to measure the length of the arm which you can easily do by measuring from the shoulder end to the wrist. It is best to keep your hand straight. After taking the measurement, note it down on paper.
4. Finally, the last step is to add both the measurements. The final size is your right sleeve length.

Another way to measure your sleeve length is using a shirt or t-shirt that has perfect fitting. And with ideal fitting, we mean the shirt that fits on your shoulder rightly. It simply means neither it is too loose nor too tight.

If you have such a fitted t-shirt, then you can measure the shoulder length from there, and then for sleeves length, you can use the method mentioned above.

You need to keep in mind some tips while measuring sleeve lengths.

1. It is best to keep the neck, shoulder, and arm relaxed during measurements.
2. The second tip is to take assistance or help from your friends or family members to get proper measurements.
3. Further, the next tip is always to go with shirts that fit you well as taking measurements from inch tape might go wrong.
4. Another tip is always to round up the sleeve size to find the perfect match browsing online stores, as many brands prefer to keep their shirts in range.
