Men’s Clothing Measurement Guide

Our size guides will help you choose the most comfortable size for you. First though, you will need to measure yourself as accurately as possible, we’ve put together some tips to help you get the correct measurement.

For the best results take your body measurements either undressed or in lightweight clothing. The tape measure should be kept snug around your body, but not overly tight. Stand up straight and get a friend to help if you’re struggling!

Chest: Always measure across the fullest part (usually under the armpits and across the shoulder blades). Keep the tape as level as possible around the body.

Waist: Measure around your waist line where you would normally wear your shorts or trousers.

Hips: Stand with legs approximately six inches apart. Always measure across the widest part to ensure a non restrictive fit.

Inside Leg/Inseam: Measure from the top of the inside leg at the crotch down to the ankle bone. An easy way to do this is to find a good fitting pair of trousers and measure from the crotch seam to the bottom of the pants.

Sleeve: Bend your elbow and place your hand on your hip. Get a friend to help measure from the middle of the back of your neck, across the shoulder and around to your elbow, finishing at your wrist bone.

Remember, the fit of your clothes will always vary depending on the cut, style and type of fabric used.

    Altura Merino LS Base Layer Grey review by Professional Review from Road.cc, on 16/05/2017

    4

    If youve avoided merino because you dont like the typically looser fit, but you dont like the feel (or smell) of some synthetic baselayers, the Altura Merino Wool Base Layer could be what you are looking for. I dont like to start with a complaint, but I will. Nowhere on the packaging is it made clear that this top, although named Merino Wool Base Layer is only 50% merino. The rest is polyester, as you will learn from one of the garment label (not the one in the neck, though – that also says Merino Wool), and the website. On the side of the box it describes the properties of merino wool (excellent at regulating body temperature and naturally wicking away moisture) but then refers mysteriously to Altura Dry Technology achieving enhanced breathability through technical yarn. What is this technical yarn of which it speaks? No clues.

    This aside, Altura has achieved pretty much what it has set out to do, which is to use the natural function of wool in a sport fit styling. I like merino, in certain applications. I find it best when worn without anything over the top, such as on bright winter days or even in the summer. Once its trapped under a waterproof or windproof I find it soon becomes clammy and, in cold conditions, that can be quite unpleasant. Altura has sought to remedy this by combining wool with synthetics to improve the breathability. In use, I found this still felt more like wool than synthetic when it came to shifting the moisture under a windproof, but it was noticeably better than 100% wool.

    The fit is undoubtedly better than any merino baselayers Ive tried. In fact, I dont use merino baselayers under road tops because of their tendency to be a sloppy fit. This fabric blend incorporates plenty of stretch and the cut is tight, so you can wear it under anything. I tended to pull a short-sleeved jersey over it, using the long sleeves like arm warmers and this worked similarly well, though a bit cooler on the arms. The low-cut neck also makes for a less insulated fit at the collar, which you may or may not like. In a cold wind I might want something I could zip up. Its not been cold enough yet to pull out my heavyweight winter jerseys but I imagine this will pair very nicely with them, especially on low-pace rides where sweat isnt an issue.

    The panelling is simple, the stitching flat and tidy, so this garment was comfortable to wear, though not as soft as any 100% merino top Ive worn. Wool doesnt smell like some synthetics can (I once wore the same merino top for nine days between washes, in the furthest flung reaches of the Scandinavian Arctic). Altura has added silver microparticles and this seems to help prevent any lingering build-up of bacteria, which can be hard to deal with in clothes that can only be given a cool wash. The sizing was wayward, to say the least. Altura has listed this in three unisex sizes: XS-S, M-L and XL-XXL. While my test top came in M-L, it was definitely more medium than large, especially in the sleeve length where I really needed an extra inch. Men in particular will most likely want to size up. All in all though, this is a well-considered and well-made piece, which combines some of the advantages – and drawbacks – of both wool and man-made fibres.
