| MENS SIZING
Vintage clothing sizes can differ greatly from standard sizes today. For this reason Charming Magpies provides the actual measurements of each item - so check these to get an idea if the garment is right for you. We take the measurements when the garment is laid flat, from seam to seam. HOT TIP: If you aren't sure whether something will fit, you can measure a similar fitting garment of your own to compare. Measure the key points of the garment allowing about 1 inch (2cms) extra on each measurement for ease of movement.
PLEASE NOTE: Clothing may have been tweaked and pinned to the model/mannequin to show the desired fit of the garment.
HOW WE TAKE OUR MEASUREMENTS CLOTHING 1 Shoulders - Seam to seam
2 Chest - Armpit to armpit and then doubled
3 Waist - Measured around the waistline (un-stretched and fully stretched where applicable)
4 Hips - Approx 8inches below the waistline
