Custom Jacket or Suit

🧵 How to Measure for Your Custom Beekeeping Suit or Jacket

To ensure your beekeeping gear fits perfectly—providing both comfort and protection—please follow these simple steps to take your measurements accurately.

📐 What to Wear While Measuring

• Wear light, fitted clothing (no bulky layers).
• Stand upright and relaxed.
• Use inches.

📏 Required Measurements

• 🧥 Jacket Measurements

  • Arm Length: Start at the top of the shoulder where the sleeve begins, and measure down the outside of the arm to the wrist bone. Keep the arm slightly bent.

  • Shoulder Width: Measure from the edge of one shoulder to the edge of the other, straight across the back.

  • Waist to Neck: Measure vertically from your natural waist (narrowest part of your torso) up to the base of your neck, where a shirt collar would sit.

  • Chest: Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest, under your armpits and across your shoulder blades. Keep the tape level and snug, not tight.

  🕴️ Suit Measurements

  • Height: Stand straight and measure from the top of your head to the floor.

  • Arm Length: Same as jacket—shoulder to wrist, with a slight bend in the arm.

  • Shoulder Width: Same as jacket—edge to edge across the back.

  • Waist: Measure around the narrowest part of your torso, usually just above the belly button.

  • Chest: Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest, under your armpits and across your shoulder blades. Keep the tape level and snug, not tight.

  • Back Length: Measure from the base of the neck (where it meets the shoulders) straight down to the waist or desired hem length.

  • Inner Leg (Inseam): Measure from the crotch down the inside of the leg to the ankle bone.

🐝 Pro Tips for a Perfect Fit

• Add 1–2 inches to each measurement if you plan to wear thick clothing underneath.
• If you're between sizes, size up for better mobility and ventilation.
• For children or petite adults, please mention age and body type for better tailoring.
• If you have unique needs (e.g., longer arms, broader shoulders), feel free to note them in your order.

🛡️ Why Accurate Sizing Matters

A well-fitted beekeeping suit:

• Prevents gaps where bees could enter 🐝
• Allows full range of motion for hive work
• Keeps you cool and comfortable in all seasons
