Suit Measurement Guide

You Need:

A Fabric Tape Measure.
Ten to twenty minutes.

It would help if:

You had assistance from a friend when measuring.
You wore a good fitting dress-shirt and slacks. If you do not have these items, any form- fitting clothing will suffice (to include a t-shirt and boxers). No jeans and empty your pockets!

About Measuring:

When taking measurements the tape should be held flat against the body; it should be held snug enough so not droop, but never so tight as to feel restrictive.
All measurements should be taken to the nearest quarter inch.
Do not add wiggle room to your measurements. We will adjust the fit based off of your selected preferences and build. All measurements are “skin measurements”.

1. Neck

Measure around your neck at the height where your collar, if buttoned, would be.
This measurement should be taken along the lower section of the neck, below your Adams Apple and above your Sternal Notch.
The tape should be comfortably touching the skin, with enough room so that you do not feel restricted.
My Neck is ____.____ inches.

2. Full Chest

Measure around the chest and body at its fullest part (typically right under the armpits and shoulder blades, right across the nipples).
Hold the tape against the body tight enough so that it does not slip down,but not so tight that it restricts breathing.It should be “snug”.
Make sure the tape is horizontal and the person’s arms are by their side; then take a normal breath and measure.
