Ken is 6'2". Based on his measurements, I cut a size XL with the following alterations:
I added 1" at the chest and 1/2" at the hip on the side seams (4" ease at chest, 6" ease at hips), essentially making an XXL.
I added 3 1/2" of length to the sleeves.
I added 5" of length to the body: 2" at the torso, 2" mid-leg, and 1" at the hem.
I did a little better with the neckline ribbing this time. How it curves down at centre front is good. I sewed the neck seam with 1/4" seam allowances.
Here's my label.
I told him to send me pictures as soon as he gets it. Until then, I'll just have to trust my instincts that it will fit him.
I bought these boxes so I could send pants back and forth to my brother. They're the perfect size for onesies!
What a fun project! I hope I can make many more of these!
