How to Measure
- Chest: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape measure parallel to the ground and snug (not tight) under your arms and across your shoulder blades.
- Waist: Measure around your natural waistline at the point where you normally wear your trousers or belt, keeping the tape comfortably loose.
- Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips and bottom, approximately 20 cm below your natural waist.
- Sleeve Length (for shirts and jackets): Measure from the centre back of your neck, across your shoulder, down to your wrist with your arm relaxed at your side.
- Inseam (for trousers): Measure from the top of your inside leg at the crotch down to the floor whilst wearing shoes. It is better for trousers to be slightly too long than too short.
- Shoe Fit: Measure your foot length in the evening when feet are slightly swollen. Stand on a flat surface and measure from your heel to the tip of your longest toe. If one foot is larger, choose shoes to fit the larger foot.

Product-Specific Guidance
Workwear Shirts & Tops: Ledvance workwear is engineered for comfort during long shifts in technical environments. Shirts are cut with reinforced seams and durable fabrics. Measure your chest and select based on the chest measurement table above. If you are between sizes, size up for ease of movement. Short sleeves typically reach mid-bicep; long sleeves should end approximately 2 cm above your wrist bone.
Trousers & Work Shorts: Professional trousers from Ledvance feature functional pockets and hard-wearing construction. Always measure your inseam carefully, as trouser lengths are typically offered in regular (32 inches / 81 cm) and long (34 inches / 86 cm) options. Waist sizing follows the chart above. Consider purchasing a size with a slightly looser waist if you wear a belt or protective gear underneath.
Safety Footwear: Ledvance safety shoes meet rigorous industry standards and are designed for technicians, field engineers, and maintenance professionals. Use the foot length measurement method described above (measure in the evening). Safety shoes often have thicker insoles and toe protection, so many customers prefer a half-size larger than their regular shoe size. Always try on with the socks you plan to wear at work. Width varies by model; consult the product description for narrow, standard, or wide fits.
Promotional & Branded Merchandise: Branded polo shirts, caps, and branded bags follow standard sizing conventions. Polo shirts fit closer to the body than work shirts; if you prefer a relaxed fit, consider sizing up one size. Adjustable caps fit all head sizes from approximately 54–58 cm.
Sizing Tips
- Measure in the evening. Feet and body swell slightly throughout the day, especially after standing or physical activity. Measuring in the late afternoon or evening gives a more accurate representation of your size during work hours.
- Account for layers and protective equipment. If you wear thermal layers, protective vests, or harnesses under your Ledvance workwear, add 1–2 inches (2.5–5 cm) to your chest measurement before selecting a size.
- Consider the fit style. Ledvance workwear is designed for functionality and durability rather than a tight silhouette. A slightly roomier fit allows better mobility and comfort during technical tasks. If in doubt between two sizes, opt for the larger size.
- Safety footwear width matters. Professional work shoes often run narrower than casual trainers. If you have wide feet or experience tightness in the toe box area, check the product specifications for width availability or consider going half a size up.
- Check material composition for stretch. Some Ledvance workwear items incorporate stretch fabrics (elastane or spandex) for enhanced mobility. These items may fit slightly more fitted; standard cotton or polyester blends offer a more traditional, relaxed fit.
- Refer to product-specific size charts. Ledvance occasionally produces regional or specialised collections (e.g., women's-cut safety trousers, extended sizing for tall professionals). Always consult the individual product page for model-specific guidance, as sizing can vary between collections.
- Plan for shrinkage in washing. Professional workwear fabrics, particularly cotton-rich blends, may shrink slightly after the first wash. If you have measured accurately and expect shrinkage, consider ordering one size up for items that will be frequently laundered at high temperatures.
- Return policy. If you are ordering online and uncertain about fit, verify Ledvance's return and exchange policy before purchasing. Many retailers offer free returns within 28–30 days, allowing you to exchange for a different size if needed.
