*RENT* Sweater Sizing Information
For 2008, the *Paid Your Rent* sweater has been re-designed to address various misconceptions about the FIT of the Rent sweater.
Initially offered in an authentic reproduction of both the style and fit for this very popular sweater, it quickly become clear that most customers do not like the way the short, "too small" look and clingy style of the original sweater looks on their body frame.
As a result, we re-designed the sweater to be of a more average size and length, albeit still fitted and with a bare minimum of wearing ease.
Accurate measurements are vital in selecting the right size for any item of wizard wear, but particularly for this sweater. Please do not assume that a particular size will fit you or the person it is intended for - the measurements below will help you narrow down the size range.
We are providing the finished measurements for each size.
Visitors can determine which size is closest to their actual body measurements taking into account the style and fit of the sweater.
Armed with these finished measurement, a customer should then contact us, prior to placing an order, to "fine-tune" the sizing if required. This will eliminate any sizing issues with the finished garment.
Select this sweater according to your actual chest size but please note that there IS a difference in FIT between the Men's and Misses' sizes!
Due to the fitted style of this sweater, the following measurements are extremely important in achieving the perfect fit - for this sweater.
Should you decide to order, please provide us with the following ACTUAL body measurements:
Your actual chest size; This sweater has a bare minimum of wearing ease due to the very stretchy nature of the knit fabric. Men - if your chest measurement is 34", ORDER THE SIZE 34! We will add the appropriate amount of wearing ease for a good fit.
Your desired sleeve length; Unless otherwise noted, we will knit the sleeve to the default, standard measurement for that size.
Why do we list the shoulder width in the charts below? When your shoulder width measurement matches ours, the sleeve length is nearly always accurate...unless you have unusually short or long arms.
If your shoulder width is narrower or broader, be sure to include that *custom* measurement when communicating with us.
Narrow shoulders will cause the sleeve seam to drop off your shoulder - the sleeves become too long.
Broad shoulders will cause the sleeve seam to ride up the shoulder - the sleeves become too short.
Determining accurate shoulder width is the key to proper fitting sleeves.
Your height; These sweaters are drafted for a person of average height [5'7" to 5'11"]. If you are tall or petite, please inform us. Depending on your height, you may need a shorter or longer sweater. Unless otherwise noted, we will knit the sweater to the average length for that size.
