Beeswift sizes are in inches. Jackets, coveralls and tops go by chest, trousers go by waist, and trousers come in four leg lengths. JCB Workwear is made by Beeswift and uses the same chart. These are body measurements, so measure yourself and find the size. Every figure is from Beeswift's own sizing guide, which JCB Workwear uses too.
How to measure
Chest. Over the fullest part of the chest, under the arms and straight across the back.
Waist. Around your natural waistline, with the tape snug but not tight.
Inside leg. From the crotch to the floor.
Use a soft tape measure. If you fall between two sizes, go by your larger measurement.
