How to Measure Coverall Inseams

The inseam on a pair of coveralls is the long, vertical seam on the inside of the pant legs that binds together the two pieces of fabric that make up the legs of the clothing. The length of a coverall inseam needs to match the specific height of the person wearing them. When measuring the inseams on a pair of coveralls, follow these steps to take the most accurate possible measurement.

Things You'll Need

• Tape measure

Instructions

1. Lay your coveralls on a flat surface like a table or the floor. Unfold the coveralls so they are flat against the surface. Spread the legs apart, which gives you the room required to properly measure the inseams. Smooth out any wrinkles.

2. Place one end of the tape measure where the inseam begins, at the top of one of the coverall legs in the crotch area where the two pant legs meet. Stretch out your tape measure and place the other end at the bottom of the leg where the seam ends. Write down this measurement. This is the inseam measurement for one leg of the coveralls.

3. Repeat this step on the other pant leg to verify your measurement of the first leg. The measurements should match.
