Using a soft tape measurement and having someone help you will provide the most accurate measurements.
TIPS & TRICKS - Calf Measurement
- Take measurements whilst wearing the breeches (and socks if applicable) that you most commonly ride in
- Measure whilst standing in a comfortable position
- Hold the tape measure firm but not tight
- Ensure you take multiple measurements from both calves to ensure you have found the widest point
TIPS & TRICKS - Height Measurement
- Take the height measurement whilst standing, barefooted
- Measure at the back of the leg, from the floor to where the back of your knee creases
- If you're primarily jumping and comfort is your main concern, you may wish to take 1-2cm off your measurement
- If you're primarily riding dressage and wish to have the appearance of an elongated leg, you may wish to add 1-2cm to your height
- Keep in mind that your boots will drop 1-3cm in height
