A well-fitted suit starts with accurate measurements. Use this simple guide to measure yourself at home and find your perfect fit.
1. Chest Measurement
- Stand upright with arms relaxed by your sides.
- Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape parallel to the floor and just under the armpits.
- Keep the tape snug but not tight, allowing you to breathe comfortably.
2. Shoulder Width
- For the shoulder width, measure from the tip of one shoulder to the tip of the other, across the back.
- This measurement ensures a good fit for the jacket, allowing natural movement without excess fabric.
3. Sleeve Length
- Place the tape at the tip of your shoulder and measure down to where you want the sleeve to end, typically just below the wrist bone.
- Keep your arm slightly bent for accuracy.
4. Waist Measurement
- Wrap the tape measure around your natural waist, which is the narrowest part of your torso, typically just above the belly button.
- Avoid sucking in or squeezing the tape too tightly, ensuring a comfortable fit around the waist.
5. Hip Measurement
- Stand with your feet together and measure around the fullest part of your hips.
- This measurement is essential for a comfortable fit in the seat and thighs of your suit pants.
6. Inseam Measurement
- Measure from the top of your inner thigh down to where you want the trouser hem to sit. Most suit pants should hit just above the shoe for a classic look.
- For an accurate inseam, it’s best to have someone else measure you or use an existing pair of well-fitted pants as a reference.
7. Jacket Length
- Measure from the base of your neck (where the spine meets the neck) straight down to the point where you want the jacket to end, usually around the thumb knuckle when your arms are relaxed.
- This ensures the jacket length is proportionate to your height and torso.
Additional Tips:
- Measure Over Light Clothing: For best accuracy, measure yourself over light clothing or even directly over the skin.
- Double-Check: Always measure twice to confirm accuracy, as even a small difference can affect the fit.
- Get Assistance: If possible, ask someone to help with measurements for the best results.
