Adjustment
Loosen the lacing, hook down the front, then adjust the lacing to the figure. The flaps covering the lacing and hooks lap enough to allow the lacing space to vary. In ordering sizes, make one inch deduction for lacing space. For measurements and selection of sizes, see booklet "How to Take Measurements". For prices, see price list.
