02Compare the sizeStart with the size chart.
03Confirm the productCheck that suit’s own details.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Get ready for an accurate measurement.

For best results, ask someone to help you. Wear a light shirt and trousers, stand naturally, and use a flexible tailor’s tape rather than a rigid ruler.

1Keep the tape levelIt should not rise or dip around your body.
2Stay relaxedDo not suck in your stomach or flex your chest.
3Write each number downRecord inches or centimetres and label the unit.
4Measure twiceRepeat each measurement to check it.
VISUAL WALKTHROUGH

How to measure, step by step.

Follow these in order. The photos show tailoring and suit-fitting contexts; use the written instructions to position your tape correctly. Record each measurement before moving to the next step.

Chest circumference measurement during suit tailoring01
MEASUREMENT 01

Chest circumference

Measure around the fullest part of your chest, passing the tape under your armpits and across your shoulder blades. Keep it level all the way around.

TIPBreathe normally. Keep your arms relaxed and leave enough room for the tape to sit comfortably; do not pull it tight.
Shoulder width measurement during suit tailoring02
MEASUREMENT 02

Shoulder width

Measure across the back from the outer edge of one shoulder to the outer edge of the other, following the natural line of the shoulders.

TIPAsk another person to help. Do not measure straight across the front of your chest. If you have a well-fitting jacket, compare its shoulder seam placement.
Sleeve length measurement during suit tailoring03
MEASUREMENT 03

Sleeve length

With your arm slightly bent, measure from the shoulder point down the outside of the arm to the wrist bone.

TIPKeep your shoulder relaxed. Sleeve measurements can be taken differently by different sellers, so compare like-for-like with the product guide.
Natural waist measurement during suit tailoring04
MEASUREMENT 04

Natural waist

Wrap the tape around your natural waist, generally above the hips and near the narrowest point of your torso.

TIPStand naturally and do not hold your stomach in. Keep the tape parallel to the floor and comfortably snug.
Seat / hips measurement during suit tailoring05
MEASUREMENT 05

Seat / hips

Measure around the fullest part of your seat and hips, keeping the tape level across the widest area.

TIPStand with your feet close together and empty your trouser pockets. Avoid measuring over bulky clothing.
Trouser inseam measurement during suit tailoring06
MEASUREMENT 06

Trouser inseam

Measure from the crotch seam down the inside of the leg to the length you want at the ankle. A well-fitting pair of trousers can be used as a reference.

TIPFor a more accurate result, ask someone to help. Trouser hems and preferred break are personal; check whether the product arrives hemmed or unfinished.
Neck (for shirts) measurement during suit tailoring07
MEASUREMENT 07

Neck (for shirts)

Place the tape around the base of the neck where a shirt collar sits.

TIPLeave room to slide a finger under the tape. Use this only when checking a shirt size; it does not determine your suit jacket size.
Important: Body measurements and garment measurements are not the same. Do not add extra inches to your body measurements unless the product’s own instructions specifically ask you to. Suit ease and cut are built into the garment.

Size availability varies by product. This guide does not assume that every suit is available in every size. Always check the sizes selectable on the product page before ordering. If a product includes its own size chart or garment measurements, use those first.

UNDERSTAND THE FIT

What a good suit should feel like.

A suit should look sharp without restricting normal movement. These checks help you spot common fit issues when trying on a jacket and trousers.

01

Shoulders sit naturally

The shoulder seam should sit close to your natural shoulder edge. Heavy dimpling or a shoulder extending well beyond yours can indicate a poor fit.

02

Jacket closes comfortably

When buttoned, the front should not pull sharply or form strong stress lines. You should be able to breathe and move comfortably.

03

Sleeves show a little shirt cuff

Exact preference varies, but the sleeve should not cover your hand or stop far above the wrist. Check the product cut and your preferred look.

04

Trousers allow movement

The waistband should stay in place without digging in. Check the rise, thigh room, inseam, and desired trouser break.

BEFORE ADDING TO CART

Your final fit checklist.

Use this quick check before choosing a size online.

  • Have I measured over light clothing?
  • Did I keep the tape level and comfortably snug?
  • Did I write down whether each measurement is in inches or centimetres?
  • Have I checked the exact product’s available sizes and size notes?
  • Am I choosing the jacket and trouser fit based on the product details—not only a size label?
