Make sure to measure over the clothing you typically wear with your suit.
1. Shoulders:
Measure from the outer edge of one shoulder to the other, across the broadest part of your back.
2. Sleeve Length:
Place the tape measure at the outer edge of your shoulder and run it down along your arm to the wrist bone. Make sure your arm is slightly bent at the elbow during this measurement.
3. Chest:
Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape measure horizontal. Ensure the tape is snug but not tight, with your arms relaxed at your sides.
4. Waist(Jacket):
Measure around the narrowest part of your waist, just above your belly button. This is your natural waistline.
5. Waist(Pants):
Stand with your feet together and measure around the fullest part of your hips.
6. Hips:
Measure around the natural waistline, usually just above the hip bone.
7. Thigh:
Measure around the fullest part of your thigh, keeping the tape horizontal and snug but not tight.
8. Jacket Length:
Measure from the top of your shoulder, near the neck, down to where you want the jacket to end. Typically, this is around mid-thigh for a classic suit jacket.
9. Inseam:
Measure from the crotch seam to the bottom of your leg, along the inside of your leg.
10. Outseam:
Measure from the top of your waistband to the bottom of your leg along the outside of your leg.
11. **Neck:
Wrap the tape measure around the base of your neck where the collar would naturally sit. Add about half an inch to ensure a comfortable fit.
3. Tips for Measuring Accuracy:
- Use a cloth measuring tape for the most accurate measurements.
- It’s best to have someone assist you to ensure all measurements are precise.
- For a more relaxed fit, add half an inch to measurements around the chest, waist, and hips.
