Collar size Flatten collar and transversely measure it, except the overlap. The open collar shall not be assessed.
Total shoulder width Measure transversely from the intersection points of the seam between shoulder and sleeve.
Sleeve length Inserting sleeve Measure from the highest points of the sleeve cap to the middle of sleeve opening edge.
