How to Check Overall Size?

When it comes to workwear or uniforms, comfort and safety go hand in hand. That’s why checking the right size for your custom overalls is more important than many realize. Ill-fitting overalls don’t just look off—they can restrict movement, cause discomfort during long hours of use, or even become a safety hazard. The good news? With a few simple steps, you can confidently find the perfect fit.

1. Measure the Basics First

Start with the same key areas you’d check when buying regular clothes:

• Chest – Wrap the tape measure around the fullest part of your chest while keeping it parallel to the ground.

• Waist – Measure around your natural waistline, not where your pants sit.

• Hips – Stand with your feet together and measure the widest part of your hips.

These three measurements form the foundation for determining your overall size.

2. Don’t Forget the Torso

Unlike shirts or pants, overalls extend from your shoulders to your legs. That’s why measuring your torso length is crucial. Place the tape at the top of your shoulder, run it down through your crotch, and back up to the same shoulder. This ensures the overalls won’t feel too tight when you move or bend.

3. Consider Length Options

Check both inseam (from crotch to ankle) and overall length. If your job requires frequent kneeling or climbing, having enough leg length ensures your movements won’t feel restricted. Some suppliers even offer “short,” “regular,” or “tall” options—so choose what’s closest to your height.

4. Factor in Layering

Think about how you’ll wear your overalls. Will they go over light shirts, or will you be layering them with jackets during colder months? Sizing up slightly may be necessary to ensure you stay comfortable no matter the season.

5. Try Before Mass Ordering

If you’re ordering for a team or workforce, it’s smart to request samples or sizing sets first. This step avoids costly mistakes and ensures everyone gets the right fit. After all, the goal is for your team to move confidently and safely in their work environment.
