It would help if

  1. You had assistance from a friend when measuring (although the majority of the measurements can easily be self-taken, we have found the process to be faster if you have someone readily available to assist you. In addition, if you would rather use a local tailor or seamstress, we will refund the measuring cost up to $25 in the form of an in store coupon).
  2. 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 (.25) 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”

Measurement Deatils
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



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.
• Do not puff out your chest
• Double check this measurement

3.Full Shoulder Width

• Measure from the end of the
right shoulder to the end of
the left shoulder.
• We define the “End of the
Shoulder” as where the
horizontal plane of the
shoulder intersects the
vertical plane of the arm (see
illustration).
• Double check measurement.


4-5 Right/Left Sleeve

​​


• Measure from the end of the right
shoulder to the “Pinch” of the right
hand.
• The “Pinch” of the hand is found
where the base of the thumb and the
base of the index finger intersect
(approximately 1 inch above the
index finger knuckle).
• Double check this measurement.


-------------------

Left Sleeve
• Measure from the end of the left
shoulder to the “Pinch” of the left
hand.
• Double check this measurement.

measure across the front of the
chest.
• Start at the front of the right armpit,
continue measuring across the
nipples, and then stop at the front of
the left armpit. Do not measure
under the arms.
• This is the front part of the full chest
measurement we took in step 2.

measure across the back.

continue measuring across the
shoulder blades, and then stop at the

13. Half Shoulder Width (Right)

the point at which the vertical plane
of the neck intersects the horizontal
plane of the shoulder.

• Measure from the end of the left
shoulder to the base of the left side
of the neck.

15. Full Back Length

​



• Measure from the base of the back
of the neck to the floor.
• We define the “base of the back of
the neck” as the point at which the
7 th cervical bone is located. To
easily find this point, have the
person being measured tilt his head
forward so that the “knobby” bone
at the base of the neck becomes
obvious. Once located, you can
have the person stand straight again
and then measure.
• No shoes please!
• Double check this measurement.

of the neck to the top of the pants
waistband area.

level where you would normally
wear your pant’s belt.
• With the tape measure snug around
your waist, relax, and take the

measurement seems larger than
expected; off-the-rack pants are
normally labeled as being smaller
than what they really are.

18. Trouser's Outseam

waistband to the floor along the
