Tiger Angel LogoMeasuring Instructions

The following system has been developed over ten years with feedback from sponsored racers and helpful customers.

It is designed specifically for motorcycle clothing, so avoid going to a tailor or dressmaker, as they will make assumptions.

Just follow the instructions and you will get it right.

We suggest that you Print this page and perform the measurements off-line.
You can then use this information to fill in the form on-line when you have chosen your style and colours.

You may contact us at any stage if you have a question - you will get an experienced
Tiger Angel clothing maker not an email  robot or a salesperson.
