Custom Measurement Guide

Measure With Confidence.

Follow this step-by-step guide to provide the measurements required for your custom-tailored suit. Accurate measurements help our tailoring team prepare your selected design with greater precision.

Before You Begin

Prepare for Accurate Measurements

Ask another person to take your measurements whenever possible. Stand naturally, keep the tape flat against the body, and do not pull it too tightly.

Important: Measure over a fitted shirt and lightweight trousers. Do not measure over a jacket, thick jumper or bulky clothing

Use a Soft Tape

Use a flexible tailor’s measuring tape, not a rigid ruler.

Stand Naturally

Keep your shoulders relaxed and avoid holding your breath.

Measure Twice

Repeat each measurement to confirm it is accurate.

Use One Unit

Submit all measurements in either inches or centimetres.
