Size Chart
Take your measurements over your basic undergarments normally worn. Stand erect without shoes with your feet shoulder width apart. For circumference measurements, make sure to keep the tape measure parallel to the floor. Determine your measurements following the directions below.
CHEST – With arms down, measure around the fullest part of your chest. WAIST – Measure around the narrowest part of your torso. HIP/SEAT – Measure around the fullest point of your hip/seat. THIGH – Measure around your thigh, 1″ below crotch. Thighs often differ between legs; measure both and use larger measurement. INSEAM – Measure from crotch point to the floor. Make sure you are standing with your weight balanced and posture straight.
Tips for Accurate Measurement:

– For best accuracy, have someone else take your measurements.

– Take your measurements over the undergarments you typically wear.

– Stand straight but relaxed, with feet placed shoulder width apart.

– Take measurements barefoot or in socks.

– Use a flexible cloth measuring tape.

– Make sure the measuring tape is parallel to the floor when you take your measurements.

– When taking inseam measurements, stand straight and look straight ahead. If you look down at your feet, the measurement may come in shorter than it should!

All measurements are in inches. The measurements provided refer to body size, not to garment dimensions. Size up if you are between measurements – or size down if you prefer a tighter fit. Refer to the Measurement Guide for instructions on how to find your measurements.

Tip: Length Sizing For Tops

Long Massif tops generally feature an extra 1″ of length than a Regular at the bottom hem and an extra 1.5″ of sleeve length.

Short tops are generally 1″ shorter than a Regular at the bottom hem and 1.5″ shorter on the sleeve.

What that means to you: In general, if your sleeves are around your knuckles when your arms are down, or if you are constantly pushing your sleeves up, consider a Short. If your sleeves tend to sit above your wrists when your arms are down, consider a Long. When you raise your arms above your head if your stomach is showing, you should also consider a Long.

Please note: Since body proportions vary from person to person, and it is not unusual for someone to need a different length top than they need in a pants. In other words, if you require a top in Long that does not automatically translate to needing a Long pant.

What that means to you: In general, if your sleeves are around your knuckles when your arms are down, or if you are constantly pushing your sleeves up, consider a Short. If your sleeves tend to sit above your wrists when your arms are down, consider a Long. When you raise your arms above your head if your stomach is showing, you should also consider a Long.

Please note: Since body proportions vary from person to person, and it is not unusual for someone to need a different length top than they need in a pants. In other words, if you require a top in Long that does not automatically translate to needing a Long pant.

Tip: Length Sizing For Tops

Long Massif tops generally feature an extra 1″ of length than a Regular at the bottom hem and an extra 1.5″ of sleeve length.

Short tops are generally 1″ shorter than a Regular at the bottom hem and 1.5″ shorter on the sleeve.

What that means to you: In general, if your sleeves are around your knuckles when your arms are down, or if you are constantly pushing your sleeves up, consider a Short. If your sleeves tend to sit above your wrists when your arms are down, consider a Long. When you raise your arms above your head if your stomach is showing, you should also consider a Long.

Please note: Since body proportions vary from person to person, and it is not unusual for someone to need a different length top than they need in a pants. In other words, if you require a top in Long that does not automatically translate to needing a Long pant.
