Can anyone help me with how to take proper measurements on a jacket? I am going to be selling a Size 40 Lost Worlds Easy Ryder, and want to be sure I am relaying the correct information to potential buyers.
I think I understand back length well enough (seam below collar to bottom of jacket, through the center) and also sleeve length (from top of shoulder seam along the outer curve of sleeve to the end.) I assumed that shoulder length would be from the superior portion of the seam meeting the sleeve across the shoulder to the other seam. Pit measurements are a bit murkier to me though, and I made the "ass"umption that I should lay the jacket flat on its back and measure from the lowest portion of the armpit gusset across the jacket to the other.
I'll include a few photos to help illustrate my descriptions.
Many thanks for any help. I'm a new member and this is my first post. I'm truly in amazement at the wealth of knowledge available on this forum, and have enjoyed the reading I've done thus far.
