Houda Trail Custom Sizing Instructions

This info will be collected electronically AFTER placing a custom order. you will not need this information when placing an order. It will be collected in a follow up email!  But feel free to use this tool and take measurements at any time. Please contact for questions regarding any sizing information. A good fit is really important to me and the more we do upfront the better chance we have of nailing it. Measurements are usually taken and discussed in inches and pounds, but centimeters and kilos are absolutely fine too.

Measurements

You can take body measurements and/or measure a good fitting hoody or sweatpants. 

I recommend taking measurements from a good fitting hoody or pair of sweatpants. Instructions for body numbers and garment listed separately below.  

PLEASE NOTE IF MEASUREMENTS ARE FROM YOUR BODY OR FROM A GARMENT! A mix is fine just note what is what please!

BODY MEASURMENTS

For the following measurements, use a flexible tape or a string and then measure the string. Pull tape to where it just touches skin not too tight. DO NOT ADD ANYTHING TO THESE NUMBERS! I adjust the needed ease based on your preferred fit and the fabric type of the garment you are purchasing. 

Chest:  Below armpit, largest circumference of chest/bust

Natural Waist:  Narrowest circumference at high waist, at or near navel

Low waist/Hem:  Largest Circumference of hips at desired finish garment length

Back Length: Measure from base of neck or seam of neck seam of hoody if wearing one, down to desired finished garment length.

Sleeve Length:  From junction of bottom of neck and shoulder (side of neck) down past slightly bent elbow, across back of hand to first set of knuckles. Note distance to watch if ordering a watch window. 

 

GARMENT MEASURMENTS

Lay garment flat and measure one side of garment from side to side at the areas noted below

Chest: Measure armpit to armpit where sleeve and body meet

Natural Waist: Narrowest number between chest and hem

Low Waist: Side to Side at bottom of hem.

Back Length: Measure from seam at center of seam of hood and back panel down to bottom of finished garment

Sleeve: place a finger at the seam of the hood and neckline on the side of the neck and straighten sleeve out from there. Measure from that seam all the way down to end of cuff. Describe where the end of that sleeve lands when garment is on and when arm is laid down the side of your body. (at wrist, at beginning of fingers, at tips of fingers, etc... also note if you like where it lands or if you want it Shorter or longer) make note of distance to watch if ordering a watch window. 

 

Pants measurements

For pants take the following measurements. Either from your body or from a good fitting pair of sweatpants. If you must use stretch leggings, please make a note of that and also take body measurements. 

Waist: Circumference where you'd like your waistband to ride, or waist band of garment laid flat 

Hips: Widest measurement of hips, butt or widest number of garment laid flat

Inseam:  From crotch to ankles, or from crotch to bottom of finished garment laid flat.
