What can I do to extend the life of my judicial robe?
Chest Measurement
Take this measurement over the garments that will be worn under the item being ordered. With arms relaxed, measure around the fullest part of the chest, under the arms and across the shoulder blades in the back. The tape should be snug but not too tight. Keep tape parallel to the floor.
Height Measurement
Fasten a measuring chart or tape to the wall and have the person being measured stand up straight against the wall chart, with their "Sunday" shoes on, and heels against the wall. The back of the head should touch the chart.
Place a ruler on top of the head, parallel to the floor. Record this measurement in feet and inches (for example, 5'6") on the Order Form under Height in Shoes.

What can I do to extend the life of my judicial robe?
The point of greatest wear for most judicial robes is between the elbows and cuffs! So you could stop leaning forward at the bench, but with most judges that's not likely to happen. Seriously, we recommend hanging your robe in a closet between wearings on our contoured Robe Hanger #122, and schedule regular dry cleanings. It also helps to rotate wear between more than one robe. You would not wear the same shirt, pants, or skirt day after day, and expect them to last for 15-20 years. Robes benefit from a rest or rotation as well.
