If you are an active or prospective Color Guard participant getting clothing sized prior to purchase can be a challenge.
You are investing a lot of money and you want to get it right from the start.

Also, a popular source for American Revolutionary War clothing and accessories is Townsends. They offer some videos which go through the suggested ways to measure for clothing.

For Townsends, if you click on the link below, on the right side there are click options to find measurements for different clothing options.
This was helpful to me, so sharing for your benefit.
