It should feel comfortable—not too tight or loose. **Step 3: Note the Measurement** Look where the tape measure meets itself. “Do I need to remember this?” Yes! Write down the measurement. If you’re using inches, that’s great. If it’s in centimeters, just convert it to inches later. **Step 4: Calculate the Size** “What size does that equal?” That’s the fun part!
