Mum's and Dad's, to help you in measuring your child we have a sizing mannequin to show where to take your childs measurements. Further down this page are details on how to measure your child.
BOYS
Chest- Standing tall - position tape measure around widest part of the back and then bringing tape measure around across the nipple area, keeping your thumb behind tape. (don't have tape pulled tight)
When measuring the chest area, add 12cm to your childs chest measurements, as a jacket or vest should be loose fitting.
