Print tips

1. Print at 100% / "Actual size". Turn off "Fit to page" or "Shrink to fit". Landscape, 3 pages.
2. Check the calibration box on page 1: the lines must measure exactly 10 cm and 4 in, and a credit card must fit the dashed box (85.6 × 54 mm). If not, fix the print scale and reprint.
3. Phone printing often scales pages. If you can, print from a computer.
4. Heavier paper or cardstock lasts longer and stretches less.
5. Cut each segment along its outline, keeping the gold glue tabs. Lay the next segment over the tab so its red-arrow edge meets the red line, then tape both sides.

How to measure

Measure snug, not tight: tape flat against skin or a thin base layer, level, no squeezing. Measure twice; if the numbers differ, use the larger.

• Chest: around the fullest part, under the armpits, arms relaxed.
• Waist: around your natural waist or where your riding pants sit, standing relaxed.
• Bust (women's fit): around the fullest part of the bust, tape level all the way round, in the bra you ride in.
• Underbust (optional): snug around the ribcage directly under the bust.
• Natural waist (women's fit): the narrowest part of your torso, usually just above the navel. Bend sideways; the crease is your natural waist.
• Hips / seat: feet together, around the fullest part of your hips and seat.
• Inseam: crotch to the floor along the inside leg, barefoot. A friend helps.
• Thigh: around the fullest part of one thigh, just below the crotch.
• Calf: around the widest part of the calf, standing.
• Knee over brace: wear your knee brace and measure around its widest point, leg straight.
• Bicep: around the fullest part of the upper arm, arm relaxed.
• Sleeve: center of the back of your neck, over the shoulder and down to the wrist bone, arm slightly bent.
• Head: around the head about 1 in / 2.5 cm above the eyebrows, over the widest part at the back.
• Hand: around the palm at the knuckles, excluding the thumb, on your dominant hand.
• Foot: stand on paper, mark heel and longest toe, measure the straight line between (use the tape flat, or a ruler).
