that measurement again.... <g>

My wife is a professional costumer for film, stage and TV. I asked her what that measurement was called and she said it is "Girth" (I always thought of that as "around" as in a waist, but will bow to her knowledge!)

She says to take the measurement, put the tape on the mans' front at the base of the throat. About where the knot of a tie would be. Run the tape down the front to the crotch, under neat, and then back up to the neck about where the base of the collar sits.
