HOW TO MEASURE FOR APPAREL
Follow these simple steps to get accurate measurements for the perfect FootJoy apparel fit.
1
Chest Measurement
While standing straight, measure around the widest part of your chest keeping the tape horizontal. This measurement is used for shirts, jackets, and sweaters.
2
Waist Measurement
While standing straight, have someone measure around your waist, just above the hip bone. This is crucial for trouser and shorts sizing.
3
Inseam Measurement
While standing straight with your shoes removed, have someone measure from the bottom of your crotch to your foot. Important for trouser length.
4
Use a Friend
For the most accurate measurements, have a friend help you. It's difficult to measure yourself accurately, especially for chest and waist measurements.
5
Wear Proper Clothing
Wear the type of undergarments you'll typically wear with your golf apparel. Avoid bulky clothing that could affect measurements.
6
Check Your Size
Use our size charts below to find your FootJoy size based on your measurements. Consider both fit preferences and intended use.

Bunching
Your sock could be too big for you or the elastic has given out. Never wear tube socks.

PROFESSIONAL FITTING TIPS
Fit vs. Style Preference
Consider your playing style and comfort preferences. Traditional fit offers more room for movement, while Athletic fit provides a more tailored, modern look on the course.
Weather Considerations
In hot weather, consider slightly looser fits for better airflow. In cooler conditions, closer fits can provide better layering options and warmth retention.
Golf-Specific Needs
Ensure your apparel allows for a full golf swing. Test arm movement and torso rotation when trying on shirts and jackets. Trousers should allow comfortable stance and movement.
Length Considerations
For trousers, consider whether you prefer a traditional longer length or modern shorter cut. Rain trousers feature 5" of Velcro for easy tailoring adjustments.
Layering Strategy
Consider how pieces will layer together. Base layers should fit snugly, while outer layers need room for underlying garments without restricting movement.
Between Sizes?
If between sizes, consider your intended use. For base layers, choose the smaller size. For outer layers or if you prefer looser fits, size up for comfort.
ADDITIONAL SIZING INFORMATION
Chest Size Guidance
Men's shirt sizes are based on standard sport coat or chest size measurements. Measure around the widest part of your chest keeping the tape horizontal.
Women's Traditional Sizing
FootJoy women's apparel uses traditional sizing methods. This provides consistency across different garment types and makes sizing selection straightforward.
Junior Sizing
Junior sizes are based on age ranges but individual growth varies. Consider the child's current measurements and allow for some growth room in your selection.
Trouser Tailoring
Performance golf trousers are available in multiple inseam lengths. Rain trousers feature adjustable Velcro hems for easy length customization without formal tailoring.
Consistency Across Range
FootJoy sizing is consistent across their apparel range. Once you know your FootJoy size in one category, you can confidently order other pieces in the same size.
Sock Performance
Don't undermine the comfort and performance of your FootJoy shoes by wearing non-performance socks. FootJoy socks are designed to work optimally with FootJoy footwear.
