Following are some measuring tips to help you
order the correct size. If you need more
information, please don't hesitate to
email or chat with us. One of our 'LoungeRep Personal Shoppers'
will be happy to help you with any sizing questions
that you may have.
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 two charts below to
determine your suit size...
The suit measurements below are for
reference only. Please allow ±0.25"
difference for actual suit measurement.

How We Take Measurements
Chest - Measured under the arms,
armpit to armpit
Shoulder - Top of shoulder across
back, seam to seam
Length - Bottom of collar to bottom
of jacket / shirt
Sleeve - Top shoulder seam to end of
cuff (suits /
blazers / jackets / coats)
Sleeve - Center back of neck, across
shoulder, down arm to wrist (shirts)
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).
Our pant bottoms may come unfinished
and unhemmed (compare item
description). It is best to let a
professional tailor alter the length
for you.
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 if 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
leg seam down to the bottom hem. The
number of inches is the inseam length,
rounded to the nearest half inch.
Measuring Your Outseam
Using a pair of pants that fit you
well, measure from the top of the
waistband down to the bottom hem. The
number of inches is the outseam length,
rounded to the nearest half inch.
Measuring Your Rise
Subtract the inseam from the outseam
and you'll have the corresponding rise.
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.
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.
Some items such as casual shirts,
polos, sweaters, and swim trunks have
their size indicated as Small (S),
Medium (M), Large (L), X-Large (XL),
etc. Please refer to the chart below and
the measuring tips within to determine
your appropriate size.
