Half Chest Measurement Guide: How to Get Accurate Uniform Sizing Every Time
Incorrect sizing causes 67% of uniform returns and exchanges—costing businesses time, money, and employee satisfaction. The half chest measurement is the single most critical dimension for ensuring proper shirt, jacket, and top fit, yet 73% of people measure incorrectly by measuring their body instead of a garment that fits well. This comprehensive guide explains why half chest measurement matters, how to measure accurately using the flat-lay method, and how to use measurements for confident uniform ordering that eliminates sizing mistakes.
What Is Half Chest Measurement (And Why It Matters)
Understanding the measurement prevents confusion:
Half Chest Definition:
The width of a garment measured flat from underarm to underarm—literally half the full chest circumference:
- Measured on garment: Lay shirt flat, measure straight across chest
- Not body measurement: Don't measure around your body
- Flat measurement: Garment laid flat on surface, not worn
- Underarm to underarm: Straight line across widest part of chest
Why Half Chest (Not Full Chest):
- Easier to measure: Flat garment simpler than measuring around body
- More accurate: Eliminates variables of body measurement (posture, breathing, tape tension)
- Industry standard: Most manufacturers specify half chest in size charts
- Consistent: Same measurement method works for all garment types
Why This Measurement Matters Most:
- Determines fit: Too small = restrictive and uncomfortable; too large = sloppy and unprofessional
- Affects comfort: Proper chest fit enables movement, breathing, all-day wearability
- Impacts appearance: Correct fit looks professional; wrong fit looks careless
- Prevents returns: Accurate measurement eliminates 67% of sizing mistakes

TB101 Custom Training Bibs
PLANETT ADAMANTINE TRAINING BIB.
adamantine
[ ad-uh-man-teen, -tin, -tahyn ]
adjective
- utterly unyielding or firm in attitude or opinion.
- too hard to cut, break, or pierce.
Having played footy for 24 years and now ( due to my sons achievements) as a parent I am unofficially involved with EFNL (6 years coaching), Interleague (Runner & Defensive Line Assistant), APS Sports, Eastern Ranges, U12 Vic Team as well as the Advanced Certificate Identifying & Developing Young AFL Talent with SportsReady. I have come to notice a fundamental flaw in training bibs. As the owner and product developer of a sportswear brand, we set about redesigning and improving Training Bibs. The current trend for training bibs are in the shape of a balloon that tends to flair out around the body. The current training bib is not consistent in shape or design with playing jumpers. What this current flawed design means is that players are able to lay tackles that are technically incorrect and not suitable for game day. A balloon shaped training bib allows the player to tackle the wearers garment and not the body of the player. As mentioned, this is allowing players to lay what we call “lazy tackles” which are not correct. The balloon design also opens the door for fingers to be trapped and injured during the execution of the “lazy tackle”.
As elite performance clubs with elite talent, it is vital that the equipment supplied to the players is not only going to improve their skills but also protect them from unnecessary injuries. It is for this reason that I am informing you about our New Technically Advanced Training Bibs... but don’t take my word for it. Here is recent feedback from Anthony Rocca of the Northern Knights.
"Both bibs have been in full use! The quality and performance of the Planett bibs are outstanding and look great also. What I have also noticed is because the bibs are fitted it will help immensely with our tackling (we ripped a lot of bibs last year (previous supplier) because of the looseness which created poor tackling technique, these bibs force us to get close!) " Anthony Rocca. Northern Knights Coach.
Though these Advanced Training Bibs appear similar in design to the old designs, it is what is new that sets them apart.
* First our bibs have been redesigned with a sleeker slimmer fitting design.
* We have introduced a stronger fabric with mechanical stretch to lessen the chance of ripping
* We have carefully placed all join stitching away from other join stitches on the garments. This is especially true around the neck. This drastically increases the strength of the bibs.
* As this is a premium product, we have incorporated this product in to our full Print range. We sublimate the entire garment which allows for any colours and design to be printed. Make your bib completely unique.

FAQs
Please read our FAQs page to find out more.
How long has Uniforms.com.au been in business?
We started last century! 1999 to be exact. We are still the same family owned and operated and have made life long friends that were once new customers.
Do you outsource your embroidery & printing?
We are one of the very few uniform businesses in this country that have actually invested in to our own embroidery and print machines.
By keeping your branding in house, we are able to produce high quality merchandise with quicker time lines.
Are you Australian based?

We continually add products daily to the site to keep it up to date but by all means, start a live chat with us if you can not find what you are looking for. We are here to help.
What artwork file format do you need?
For Embroidery, we can operate with any file.
For Printing, we prefer vector files such as EPS or PDF.
Vector artwork ensures clean, sharp branding and accurate reproduction across embroidery and printing.
What is stitch count and how does it affect price?
Stitch count refers to the number of stitches used in an embroidered logo.
Higher stitch counts mean more detail and higher production time, which increases cost. Simple logos are more cost-effective, while detailed designs cost more.
What is the difference between embroidery and screen printing?
Embroidery is a premium, highly durable option ideal for polos, shirts, and jackets.
Screen printing is best for large, colourful designs and high-volume orders, offering excellent visual impact at a lower cost per unit.
How do I determine the right size for my staff?
We recommend using half-chest measurements, which are the most accurate way to size uniforms consistently across brands and styles.
This method reduces sizing errors and ensures a better fit than relying on generic S-XL sizing alone.
Can we mix and match uniform styles but still look cohesive?
Yes — mixing styles works well when there is consistency in colour, branding, and fit.
Using the same logo placement, colour palette, and garment category ensures a unified, professional appearance while giving staff flexibility.
How often should uniforms be replaced?
Uniforms should be reviewed every 12–18 months.
Replacement timing depends on job role, wash frequency, and brand standards. Regular reviews help maintain a consistent, professional image and ensure staff comfort and safety.
What is the best fabric for daily wear and workplace durability?
The best fabrics for everyday workwear are breathable, durable fabric blends, such as cotton-polyester combinations.
These blends offer comfort, strength, colour retention, and reduced shrinkage, making them ideal for long shifts, frequent washing, and physically demanding workplaces.
How many uniforms should each staff member have?
We recommend 3–5 uniform sets per staff member.
This allows for daily wear, washing cycles, and unexpected spills or damage while maintaining a professional appearance at all times. Having multiple sets also extends the lifespan of each garment and reduces last-minute uniform stress for your team.
Do you offer bulk discounts?
Yes — bulk discounts are available.
Larger orders reduce unit costs, making bulk purchasing the most economical option for growing teams.
How long does it take for my order to be delivered?
Typical timelines are:
3–5 working days for standard printing
10–15 working days for custom embroidery or larger orders
Delivery times may vary based on stock availability and order complexity.
We are a large business, are you able to assist with our unique needs?
Absolutely! We have serviced some of Australia's most well known brands throughout this great country. Reach out to us and let us show you how we can streamline your uniform ordering process.
How should I care for printed or embroidered garments?
To maximise garment life:
Wash inside out
Use cold or cool water
Avoid tumble drying
Do not iron directly over prints
Proper care preserves colour, shape, and branding.
Are there eco-friendly or sustainable promotional products?
Yes — we offer a wide range of eco-friendly and sustainable promotional products, including recycled, reusable, and biodegradable options.
What are the most effective promotional products?
Popular and effective promotional items include pens, mugs, bags, and drink tumblers.
