Many of the products Streicher's offers requires exact sizing information. For your safety and comfort it's important to get the correct fit from the products you wear and use while on duty. Manufacturers will often differ slightly in their sizes, but there are some general rules and guidelines to uniform and equipment fitting. Please read below to view our sizing guidelines. This will help you fit all your equipment like shirts, gloves and pants.

1. Take a standing waist measurement. Measure across the officer's waist at its widest point. Generally, this will be either approximately two inches above the duty belt or along the belly-button line. Using the chart, determine the panel size needed and place that size on the downloadable sizing form in the "FrontSample Size" box and the "Back Sample Size" box. (Ex: M, L or XL) If the waist measurement falls in between two sizes, we recommend you select the larger size to ensure the panel's edges touch or overlap.
2. Take a front seated measurement. Making sure the officer is in a relaxed seated position, measure from the clavicle notch to a point above the duty belt. Ensure that the front panels edge WILL NOT touch the duty belt or its accessories while seated. Using the chart, determine the front-seated panel length needed and place that size on the downloadable sizing form in the "Front Seated Measurement" box.  (Ex: R, L or X)
3. Take a back-standing measurement. Using the natural shoulder line, select a point at the middle of the back. Measure from that location to a point above the duty belt.  Ensure that the back panels' edge WILL NOT touch the duty belt or its accessories while standing. Using the chart, determine the back standing panel length needed and place that size on the downloadable sizing form in the "Back Standing Measurement" box.  (Ex: R or L or X-1)
4. Using the previous waist measurement, use the chart to determine girth width needed, and place that size on the downloadable sizing form in the "Side Standing Measurement" box. If the waist measurement falls in between two sizes, we recommend you select the larger size to ensure the panels' edges touch or overlap. (Ex: R or L or X)
5. Place the "Front and Back Sample Size" the "Front-Seated Measurement" the "Back Standing Measurement" and the "Side Standing Measurement" that you recorded on the downloadable sizing form in the "Actual Size box".  (Ex: LR / LRR)
