What Would JayBay Wear?


I've taken loads of measurements and I'm trying on all of our products to help you pick the proper size in each item of clothing and gear that we carry. Yes, I'm taking one for the team to make sure you order the perfect size the first time. Each product will have a What Would JayBay Wear? line in the description. I'll let you know what size I would wear, and if I would adjust the size for body armor. On this page, you'll find my measurements and how I got them so that you can more accurately judge which size will give you a super fit! (Don't forget to also check the vendor sizing charts that we've provided with each product description.)




The Basics

Everything and More


Height = 5"7"


Head = 21.5"; Measure all the way around your head from your forehead, across your temples, to the back.



Shoulder width = 17"; Measured from shoulder top to shoulder top across the collarbone.



Guns = 12"; Measure around your bicep--flexing is optional.



Pit to wrist = 21"; Measure from the pit of your armpit to the crease of your wrist where the palm meets.



Pit to hip = 15"; Measure from the pit of your armpit to the middle of your hip bone.



Chest = 36"; Measure around your boobs to your back, right around the middle.



Bra size = 36-38 B or C depending on the style. Yeah, there you go.



Waist = 30"; Even if you like your shorts to ride low, many companies still use an actual waist measurement. Your waist is a ways above your hips, and usually if you measure all the way around your torso at or just above your belly button, you'll be right on. If you see really big waist measurements on sizing charts, that usually means the shorts are meant to sit closer to your hips.



Hips = 35"; Measure from the bony parts of your hips around to your back. If you buy a pair of shorts that's has a larger waist measurement than your hips, they'll fall off or require a belt.



Booty = 39"; I created this measurement after a few people noticed that some shorts fit booty-licious bodies better than others. I have no booty, but I found out how much time I need to spend hiking for turns this winter by measuring around the "biggest" part.



Thigh = 23"; Measure around your thigh at its widest point. Do it while standing.



Inseam = 31"; Measure from your crotch to the floor without your shoes on.



Outseam = 37"; Measure from the floor at the outside of your foot to your hip bone.



Hand length = 6.75"; Measure from the tip of your middle finger to the crease where your palm meets your wrist.



Hand width = 3"; Measure across the pads at the base of your fingers. Keep your fingers straight and together.



Shoe size = US 6.5-7.5, Euro 38/39
