Measuring for a custom cap and gown
Height Record the total height from the top of the head to the floor, while wearing shoes. (A to B)
Chest: Be sure that the tape is well under the arms and over the shoulder blades before measuring completely around the chest. (C)
Sleeve Length: Give the usual shirt sleeve length or measure from point D, at the nape of the neck to point E just above the wrist bone, while the arm is straight against the individual’s side.
For Cap Measurements, start at the centre of the forehead and pull the measuring tape snug, but not tight around your head. The figure where the tape meets is the cap size to order.
