Benchmark Fit Guide

STEP:1

MEASURE YOUR BODY

Chest

From a standing position, measure the circumference of your upper body at the fullest part of your chest, typically just under the arm pit.

Sleeve

Bend your elbow as shown. Start at the center back of your neck and measure across the shoulder, around the elbow and to your wrist.

Waist

Measure around your natural waist where your pants sit most comfortably. Alternatively, you can look at the tag in the pants you are wearing.

Inseam

Remove your shoes and measure from your crotch to your ankle.

OUR FIT DEFINED

BASE LAYER FIT

Fits like a comfortable t-shirt. Sits closer to the body but is not snug like athletic wear. Extra body length ensures shirt stays tucked in.

EXTRAS:

CUSTOM SIZES & TIPS

If you have a need for custom fitting FR we can help make code compliant and custom clothing to fit.

The easiest way to make your custom size is for you to send us a “like” garment which we measure, create a custom pattern and then manufacture your custom fit FR. By a “like” garment we mean if you want a button up shirt send us your favorite non-FR button up shirt. Within a week we will send back your garment after taking its specifications. A few weeks later three sets of your soon to be favorite FR clothing will arrive at your door!

MEASURING YOUR T-SHIRT-SIZE

In most cases, your t-shirt size will directly correspond to the size of Benchmark FR shirt or outwear you normally wear.

ALREADY WEARING ANOTHER FR BRAND?

We can help! If you are currently wearing another FR brand we can easily determine what Benchmark FR size will fit closest to your garment. Most FR brands vary in fit and sizing may not be consistent between brands. Problem Solved; just tell us what brand and size you are wearing and we can tell you the Benchmark FR size that corresponds directly to that brand. Please call (888) 360-0663.
