Your suit size is based on your chest and height measurements.
For example, if your chest measures 44" you would wear
a size 44 suit. How tall you are will determine whether you
need a Short (S), Regular (R), or a Long (L) suit. Please
refer to the chart below to determine your suit size:
Measuring Your Chest
With
your arms down at your side, take a tape measure and place
it level under your arms and completely around your body (don't
hold your breath). Be sure to cross over the shoulder blades
and the fullest part of your chest. Remember, suit sizes are
equal to your chest size. If you are measuring in centimeters
divide by 2.54 to obtain the measurement in inches. If your
waist is bigger than your chest, use your waist size to determine
the suit size.
Notes:
The actual chest measurement of a suit is typically 2
inches larger than the size of the suit to allow room for
adequate movement.
The European size of a suit is 10 more than the US Size.
For example, a size 50 (European) is equivalent to a size
40 (US).
Typically the waist size of a suit pant is 6" less
than the suit size. For example, a suit size 42 jacket comes
with a 36" waist pant.
Alteration Notes:
A jacket that is too big at the waist can be easily taken
in by a tailor
If your slacks are 1-2" too big or small a tailor
can easily taken them in or out. If the slacks are over
2" too big, a tailor can re-cut them to fit (typically
more expensive).
Typically and unless otherwise noted our pant bottoms
come unfinished and unhemmed. It is best to let a professional
tailor alter the length for you.
Slacks
Measuring Your Waist
Using
a measuring tape, measure around your waistline where you
normally wear your pants. Keep a finger between your body
and the measuring tape. Pants sizes are equal to your waist
size. For example, if you have a 38" waist, you should
wear a size 38 pants. Remember of your slacks are 1-2"
too big or too small, a tailor can easily take them in or
out. The European size of slacks is 16 more than the US size.
For example, a size 52 (European) is equivalent to a size
36 (US).
Measuring Your Inseam
Using a pair of pants that fit you well, measure from the
top of the inner pant leg seam to the opening at the bottom
of the pant leg. The number of inches is the inseam length,
rounded to the nearest half inch.
Dress Shirts
Your dress shirt size is
determined by your neck size and arm length. For example,
a 16.5 x 34/35 dress shirt will fit a man whose neck size
is 16 inches and whose arm length is 34 to 35 inches.
Measuring Your Neck
Keeping
the measuring tape snug but not tight, measure around the
fullest part of your neck. For a looser fit, place 2 fingers
between the tape and your neck. Alternatively, measure a shirt
that fits you well in the collar by laying the collar flat
and measuring from center of top collar button to end of buttonhole.
Round your measurement to the nearest 1/2 inch.
Measuring Your Sleeve
Bend
arm slightly at elbow and begin measuring from the center
back of your neck under the collar over the top of your shoulder
and down the outside of your arm to your wrist. Most people
prefer the cuff to fall about an inch below the wrist bone.
Belts
You should order the same
size belt as your waist size. If your waist size is an odd
number, order the next larger size. For example, if your waist
size is 33, your should wear a size 34 belt.
