How to Measure for:

Lames and Jackets

Knickers

Unitards

Plastrons and Underarm Protectors

Gloves

Masks

LAMES and JACKETS

All of Triplette's jackets are made using the sizing guides below. The cotton jackets are cut fuller than our stretch jackets to allow maximum mobility. We carry inventory in the size scales listed, however our seamstresses can fit you regardless of your size or shape. Please call if you do need special fitting as they may need measurements other than the ones on the chart. Custom orders are an additional $20.00 over the usual price and may take as much as 7 days to complete.

Jacket Measurements

When measuring for your jacket, make certain to get an accurate measurement of your chest.  (Measure around the largest part of your chest while inhaling). Choose the jacket size that is your chest measurement.  Since our sizes are in two inch increments and your chest may not be on our sizing guide, choose the next size up.  For example, if your chest measures 38-1/2 choose a size 40.

KNICKERS

When measuring for your knickers, make certain to get an accurate measurement of your waist.  Measure the circumference of your waist at its smallest area (Just above the hip).  Choose the knicker size that is your waist measurement.  Since our sizes are in two inch increments and your waist may not be on our sizing guide, choose the next size up.  For example, if your waist measures 30-1/2 choose a size 32.

UNITARDS

PLASTRONS and UNDERARM PROTECTORS

When measuring for your plastron/underarm protector, make certain to get an accurate measurement of your chest.  (Measure around the largest part of your chest while inhaling.) Choose the size plastron/underarm protector that is your chest measurement.  Since our sizes are in two inch increments and your chest may not be on our sizing guide, choose the next size up. For example, if your chest measures 38-1/2 choose a size 40.

GLOVES

When measuring the hand we will need the circumference of the hand through the palm.  Measure the hand starting behind the knuckles and continue to the bottom of the hand. Measure up the palm of the hand continuing down the back of the hand ending where you started behind the knuckles. Do not include the thumb in the measurement.

MASKS

When measuring the head we will need the circumference of the face area. Measure the face starting under the chin half way between the chin and throat. Continue up the side of the face just in front of the ear. Continue up and over the crown of the head down the other side ending where you started under the chin. Remember that all heads are shaped differently and may measure one size when they are actually another. We find most children wear medium masks except for the really young. Adult women almost always wear medium and adult men large unless they are really big.
