How do you measure pit to pit?
Also: Pit-to-pit · Chest width · P2P
Pit to pit is a garment measurement taken across the chest from one armpit seam to the other while the item lies flat; doubling it gives the full chest circumference. Because vanity sizing makes tag sizes unreliable, resellers list pit-to-pit so buyers can match fit to a garment they already own.
How it's used in a listing
An eBay listing “Pit to pit: 22 in, length: 28 in (measured flat)” gives buyers exact dimensions instead of relying on a tag size.
How it maps to the grade scale
Pit to pit isn't a condition grade — it's a fit measurement. It's part of the same listing discipline as grading, though: accurate measurements plus a clear GradeThread 1.0–10.0 condition grade together prevent the size and condition SNAD disputes that drive returns.
