I would say that is the measurement from the shoulder to the hand.

I would measure underarm to underarm across the back.
plus nap of neck to hem and under arm to hem.

Wouldn't the 50cm be the circumference of the upper arm?
Measure around your upper arm (about muscle area) with a dressmaker's tape measure.
Sounds like the 50cm will fit up to that size bicep.

Ok thanks , that seems pretty big then . Should have asked OH what it meant as he's now busy flashing his 'biceps' and measuring his arms bless him
