Custom Measurements Guide

A custom-tailored suit is a luxury all gentlemen should treat themselves to! We do recommend being measured by a tailor, alternatively, many customers do employ the help of a friend. Just make sure to follow our guide that is specific to our suits, whichever route you take. 

A few important notes before you begin:

  1. Measurements should be taken snug but not tight.
  2. In all instances, make sure that the tape measure is level across or around the body.
  3. Do not add extra inches for comfort. Our highly skilled tailors already factor in for comfort. Submit all measurements exactly as taken for a perfect fit.
  4. Submit all measurements in inches rounded to the nearest 1/4 inch. 

Important: This measurements guide is for a visual guide only, we ask that you do not submit a photo with hand written measurements. Please ensure that you use our measurement submission form to submit your measurements.

 

Chest - Your chest size is determined by measuring around the widest part of your chest. This is typically just below your armpits and just above your nipples. Remember to breathe normally, you don't want to hold your breath, otherwise you will be squeezing into the suit. Make sure that the tape measure is snug, but not too tight against your chest and do not overextend the chest.

 

We add the following to this measurement:

Slim Fit: 2"-2.4"

Regular Fit: 2.8"-3.8"

Belly - Your belly measurement helps us fit the best suit to you, in combination with your chest our team can ensure your suit is spot on. Your belly is measured over your navel.

We add the following to this measurement:

Slim Fit: 2"

Regular Fit: 2-3"

Neck - Measure around the width of the base of the neck (just under the Adam's apple) where your shirt collar would sit.

Shoulder - Your back should be straight, while your shoulders are hung naturally in a relaxed position. Located your shoulder points, this is easiest by wearing a well fitting shirt and measuring between the seams where you sleeves meet.The tape measure will not be straight for this one. Let it bend at a gentle curve between your shoulder points.

Bicep - Relax your arms, and don’t flex. Measure around your bicep at its largest point. It helps to take a few measurements of slightly different points just to make sure. This is typically close to your armpit.

Slim Fit: 2.4"

Regular Fit: 2.6"

Sleeve -   Place the tape on the point where shoulder and arm meet (where the shoulder seam and armhole seam meet on your well fitting shirt). Measure straight down to your desired length (the standard point is just between the thumb base and the wrist). Do not straighten your arm into a line, keep your arm relaxed!

Ok, this is an easy one. We look at your chest, belly and height to helps us guide whether your jacket size should be a short, regular, or long length. Please enter as ft and in.
Now this is an easy one, this helps us check to make sure that nothing is out of the ordinary and an easy way to ensure the quality and fit of your suit.
Slim Fit - A slim fit jacket is cut closer to the body with a modern tailored sihouette. The pants are slightly tapered from the thigh down for a modern look. 

With a slightly slimmer fit through the thigh and knee and has a narrower leg opening but still feels roomy enough for most gent's comfort zone and thigh size.

This isn't an overly tapered fit and will be far removed from a skinny leg. 
Regular fit - The jacket will have a more relaxed and looser fit. Regular fit pants have a relatively straight leg with less taper from the thigh down for a traditional look. The leg opening will not be a wide leg fit.
