How We Measure

Every I&P Recycle piece is one of a kind, so we measure each garment by hand. All measurements are in centimetres, taken with the garment laid flat and buttoned up.

Tops, shirts & jackets
Chest: straight across from armpit seam to armpit seam (double it for the full chest).
Shoulder: across the back, shoulder seam to shoulder seam.
Length: from the top of the collar seam at the centre back, down to the hem.
Sleeve Length: from the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff (raglan sleeves: from the collar to the cuff).

Trousers, jeans & shorts
Waist: straight across the top of the waistband (double it for the full waist).
Front Rise: from the crotch seam up to the top of the waistband at the front.
Inseam: from the crotch seam down the inside leg to the hem.
Total Length: from the top of the waistband down the outside leg to the hem.
Hem Opening: straight across the leg opening at the hem.

Measurements can vary by a centimetre or so. We recommend going by the measurements rather than the tagged size.
