How to get the perfect garment size [Struddys sizing guide]
Posted by Dallas Higgins on 4th Nov 2022
It's important that your Struddys gear is the perfect fit for you! We want your custom gear to be not too big or too small, but just right for you to perform your best. To do that, we’ve created this blog that when used alongside our Size Guides, it will ensure you find the perfect fit for you.
As a general rule of thumb with all Struddys garments, we recommend that you find the right size by measuring a similar garment you own that fits you well and compare that to our size guides. Do so by placing the garment on a flat surface and measuring, do not measure your body or the garment when worn. Over time we’ve found that measuring on a flat surface rather than a body measurement is far more accurate. Below are some quick videos of how to find the perfect size for you.
Lets get straight into it!
