Many people have an idea of their measurements, but it’s always best to measure yourself again – especially when choosing a harness. It’s not a science. When choosing the right size for your new leather product, it is important to have a tape measure with you – you can easily do it yourself.
(If you don’t have a tape measure at home – here we have prepared an article for you as well)
For almost every product from our offer, you must measure and choose your measurements before adding them to the basket. For example, for collars/chokers – you will only measure the circumference of the neck. For some more complex chest harnesses, it is necessary to measure more measurements (for example, waist circumference, chest circumference, underarm drainage…).
In this article, we will explain how to correctly measure specific measurements.
Chest circumference
Measure the chest (breasts) in their fullest part. Wrap the meter across your breasts, shoulder blades forward so that you can see the measurement result.
Circumference above the breasts
Take this measurement in the place between the breasts and armpits around the shoulder blades. Do not tighten the meter – in these places the harness must have about a centimeter of freedom due to blood circulation and the nerves located in the armpit.
Waist circumference
The waist is measured above the navel below the ribs. Where exactly do you measure your waist? If you bend to the side, the crease that is created is your natural waist. Do not contract your stomach when measuring, otherwise you will measure false measurements.
Hip circumference
Hips should be measured across the largest part of the butt, around the hips. It is quite difficult to keep track so that the meter goes horizontally – help yourself with a mirror.
Neck circumference
Measure the neck in its center – between the shoulders and the chin. You will need a mirror to be able to read the number on the meter.
Thigh circumference
You can measure your thigh easily – in the upper, fullest part. The thigh must be measured taut.
Ankle circumference
The circumference of the ankle is measured above the ankle joint (above the ankle protrusions). Place your foot on a chair when measuring. Do not push the tip down or too much uphill.
Calf circumference
The calf should also be measured at its widest point (approx. in the upper half). As with the thigh, the calf must be stretched when measuring.
Wrist circumference
One of the simplest measurements – measure the circumference of the wrist just behind the wrist joint (behind the projections of the wrist). Feel free to help yourself to the table.
