Calculating Your
Frame Size
Following is the
method the
Metropolitan Life
Insurance Company
used to calculate
frame size:
- Extend your
arm in front of
your body
bending your
elbow at a
ninety degree
angle to your
body so that
your forearm is
parallel to
your body.
- Keep your
fingers
straight and
turn the inside
of your wrist
towards your
body.
- Place your
thumb and index
finger on the
two prominent
bones on either
side of your
elbow, then
measure the
distance
between the
bones with a
tape measure or
calipers.
- Compare to
the chart
below. The
chart lists
elbow
measurements
for a medium
frame - if your
elbow
measurement for
that particular
height is less
than the number
of inches
listed, you are
a small frame -
if your elbow
measurement for
that particular
height is more
than the number
of inches
listed, your
are a large
frame.
