How to Measure
Fire Boots - Due to recent changes in fire boot manufacturing, your shoe size now equals your boot size.
Turnout Coats - Use the larger (outermost point) of either your stomach or chest/bust measurement. If your stomach is the outermost point, measure around the belly with your belly button as the center point. If this is not the case, then use your chest/bust measurement. Note: always measure with the most amount of clothing or accessories that might be worn beneath the coat.
Turnout Pants - Use the larger (outermost point) of either your stomach or waist measurement. If your stomach is the outermost point, measure around the belly with your belly button as the center point. If this is not the case, then use your waist measurement. Note: always measure with the most amount of clothing or accessories that might be worn beneath the coat.
Threads - To measure your threads, you must use an exacting measuring tool such as a Caliper. Threads measurements are based on the Outside Diameter (thread top to thread top)
