Video Transcript

"O.k. boys now that we know our shirt size, now we have to figure out our jacket size and it's very standard. It's basically your chest measurement and then to figure out short, regular or tall, it's based on your height. So, first of all, I'm going to go over how to be measured for your chest size. So, you're going to want to stand with your arms to your side, you want to stand tall, but not, but relaxed, so you don't want to stick out or anything, so you just want to be relaxed. And, then you want to have somebody, the tailor at the dry cleaner, your mom, etc, somebody to help you and you want to, underneath your arms at the fullest part of your chest measure your chest size and that number whatever it is, usually it's a forty or a forty two or a forty four. Then it becomes forty four short, forty four regular or forty four long, based on size chart and the size chart is broken up into specific heights and I'll show you that."
