Apply the measuring tape to the socket bone at the neck as marked by A,
Figure 1, and measure down to the lower edge of the belt, which gives
the actual length of the back.
Should we desire to make the waist longer or make it appear so, because
taste or style requires it, take what extra length may be suggested
before removing the tape from the neck.
For a jacket we continue down to the point where the bottom should be,
and for a long ulster, to the floor, as to D and E.
