Use chest and waist measurements to find the proper pattern size for waistcoats and coats.
Use neck size for shirts, and use waist measurement for breeches and drawers.
Pattern sizes do not necessarily correspond to modern clothing, so please measure carefully.
If you fall between sizes, order the larger size.
