Getting Started. Measuring for Custom Garments:
Never measure yourself by own. Get someone to help you.
Wear a tight short / underwear or base layer. If short or base layer is not tight, pull up them up to fit snug in the crotch area (important for all measurements below the waist). Empty your pockets if any. Do not take measurements in loose fitting shorts / Jeans. If you do, it will create a problem with proper dimensions. The whole idea behind a custom RAMOTO racing suit is building a perfect suit to fit YOUR body.
Pull tape measure snug and record your true measurements while measuring. please explain any special circumstances on a separate note below in additional information box. For example, please advise if: you are a bodybuilder; you have any physical conditions we should be aware of. If you will be wearing special armour / protector, body armour or back protectors. Please explain below in additional information box and provide measurements with the armour / protectors on that you will be wearing under the new leather suit.
Always stand up straight and look forward while your measurements are being taken. Never look down at the person doing the measurement as this will greatly affect the accuracy.
WHAT YOU NEED:
1) To start taking the measurements now, you will need 1 piece cord / string to fasten tightly around the navel. Make sure that the cord / string does not move accidentally up or down during the measuring process at navel and horizontally aligned to the body.
2) 2 pieces cord / string to pass under the both armpits. It is very important that they are perfectly vertical to the body.
3) Mark at the center of collar bones for accurate measurement.
4) Mark on the base of the neck.
5) Mark on the wrist bone
7) Mark at the center of knee
8) mark on the center of ankle bone
MEASUREMENT TIPS:
