Before measuring : Read the measuring instructions carefully. Notice what in–
formation is asked for. When measuring: It's difficult for a person to measure
himself correctly. Have someone else take the measurements. Empty pockets of
anything bull..")'. Stand naturally, in a relaxed position. Don't expand chest! Hold
tape snug, not tight. When ordering: Please give us all of the information asked
for. Make no extra allowances-Sears garments are

HEIGHT MEASUREMENT
M~sure
height without shoes. Most
popular method for taking height
measurement is to have boy stand
against wall. Height is important
because it helps you select the most
accurate size to give your boy a
handsome, more flattering fit.
CHEST MEASUREMENT
Measure chest well up under arms
and over tips of shoulder blades.
For shlrts, suits, sport coats and
sweaters...measure chest over shirt.
For outer coats and jackets ... meas–
ure chest over heaviest clothing to be
worn underneath.
WAIST MEASUREMENT
Measure waist over underwear at
smallest part. Waist measurement
should be taken carefully because
it controls the amount of room in
the seat and crotch. When measur–
ing waist, be sure to hold tape
measure snug, but not tight.
TROUSER INSEAM MEASUREMENT
Take a pair of good-fitting trousers. Lay them
flat on a table as illustrated. Measure inseam
from crotch seam to bottom of cuff. Or,
if
you
prefer, have boy stand in a relaxed position
with legs spread apart. Pull up trousers to
where he likes to wear them. Measure along
inseam from crotch seam to length desired.

Here is Sears 4 -point measuring system .. . for all members of the family. Use a blank sheet of pa–
per large enough to fit underyour foot, an ordinary kitchen knife, and a pencil. Sit on a chair and let
the foot thatgivesyou the most trouble rest
natur~lly
on the paper as illustrated at left. Do not stand
as thls
