Standard sizes
They're surely not covering 100% of the people, but there are very good chances that you will find a standard size fitting you well! This has clear advantages, for us as manufacturers, for our dealers, and for jumpers.
As manufacturer, we can organize the production better, allowing more favorable prices.
A dealer can stock standard sizes, with faster reassorting time, to serve better his own customers.
Jumpers can take advantage of a good quality product, at a reasonable price, with a short delivery time. And if lucky enough, a suit fitting may be at the DZ shop!
We have designed the new models with the standard sizes in mind, and we have set 7 sizes for men, and 7 for women (yes, we noticed that man and women are different). This will give great flexibility and more chances to find a standard size to fit a person.
So, what should you do to choose the standard size that would fit? Well, first of all look at the measurements chart! This is important as you should pick the size by the measurements, not by its name... From the measurement chart you will easily find if a size fits you tight or loose, and decide which is best.
Another option is to try a suit in a standard size at a dealer's shop, and once found the best fitting one, place the order thru the dealer. Or just buy the one you tried!
In doubt send us your measurements, and we will help you in selecting your size.
