FAQ's
How do I find my barrister robe size in Canada?
Barrister robes are sized by chest and height. Your robe size is your chest measurement rounded to the nearest even number,Your height determines the length category:
How long should a barrister robe be?
A Legal Attire Canada barrister robe is your height in inches minus 20 inches. At 5'10" (70 inches), that’s a 50-inch robe. KC robes are 2 inches longer, and judicial robes are 4 inches longer.
How do I choose the correct court shirt size?
Men’s court shirts are sized by neck and sleeve. A 15.5-inch neck with an arm length of 34 inches or less is a 15.5R; an arm length over 34 inches is a 15.5L. Women’s court shirts are sized by bust measurement. Use the calculator to find the recommended size.
How are barrister tabs sized?
Tabs are sized by neck measurement: Small up to 15 inches, Medium up to 16 inches, Large up to 17.5 inches, X-Large up to 18.5 inches, and XX-Large above that.
What size barrister waistcoat should I order?
For men, take the larger of your chest measurement, then round to the nearest even number. A 40-inch chest with a 34-inch waist is a size 40. Women’s waistcoats are sized mainly by bust measurement. Use the calculator to find the recommended size.
How do I measure myself accurately?
Use a soft tape measure and wear a dress shirt. Measure your chest at the fullest point, your waist at the natural waistline, your neck where the collar sits, and your arm from the shoulder seam to the wrist. For step-by-step instructions, follow our measuring guide.
