Style is only one element of the perfect suit. The other critical element is fit. With suits, you elevate your game from ordinary to extraordinary when you get a suit that compliments every aspect of your body. That distinction shows the world that the suit you acquired was made especially for you, and no one else. That’s where we come in — Our goal is to serve YOU specifically and make sure your needs are met. To that end, as part of our ordering process, we ask that you provide the measurements outlined below after purchasing your garment.
For the best results, we advise that you get your measurements from a tailor. If you do not have access to a tailor, please follow the written instructions and videos to self-measure. Many of our clients self-measure and get great results!! If you’re ever in doubt about certain measurements, always air on the side of adding rather than subtracting to allow for alterations.
For best results, do your self measurements with a fitted dress shirt and fitted dress pants.
BLAZER
Waist
Position the tape measure where you normally wear a belt. Then, wrap the tape measure around your waist, and where the tape connects is your waist measurement. Choose how much breathing room you want for your pants.
Hip
At the strongest part of the buttocks, measure the circumference around your body. Where the tape connects is your hip measurement.
Crotch/U-Rise
Position your tape measure at the buckle of your belt (or where that would be without a belt. Bring the tape measure down and behind your crotch to the corresponding belt position on the back of your pants/body. Make note of the measurement — that is the U-rise.
Thigh
Measure the circumference of your thigh by taking the tape measure around the middle of your thigh until the tape measure connects. That’s your thigh measurement.
Knee
Measure the circumference of
your knee by taking the tape measure around the middle of your knee until the tape measure connects.
Calf
Measure the circumference of your calf by taking the tape measure around the largest part of your calf until the tape measure connects.
Ankle
Measure the circumference of your ankle by taking the tape measure around the ankle until the tape measure connects. Leave a little breathing room for the pants (about an inch).
Pants
Length/Outdraw (measure with shoes on)
To take this measurement, position your tape at the top of your waistband at your side. Then, slide the measuring tape down to the point where your pants hit your shoes. There are variety of pants breaks that you can choose from, including above the ankle, right at the top of your shoe, a little past the top part of your shoe. This is really up to you and what your personal preference is. We recommend either above the ankle or right at the top of your shoe for the most modern look.
