Measurement Guide

Take your measurements with confidence

Use the pictures below to place the tape correctly. Ask someone to help, then send us clear photos through our measurement form after placing your order.

Before you begin

Use a soft measuring tape and wear a light, fitted shirt and trousers. Remove your belt.
Stand naturally. Keep the tape flat and comfortably snug; do not pull it tight or leave extra slack.
Record body measurements in inches. Do not add or subtract for fit. Our tailors calculate the allowance.
Take each measurement twice. Photograph the tape in place so its position and reading are visible.

Height & weight

Include your height and weight so we can cross-check your proportions. Pounds are welcome; include the units you use for height and weight.

Tape around the fullest part of the chest with arms relaxed

1. Chest

Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest, under your arms and across your back. Keep it level. Relax your arms and breathe normally.

Shoulder width measured across the upper back

2. Shoulder Width

Ask your helper to measure across your upper back, from the outer edge of one shoulder to the other. Use your actual shoulder points, rather than the seams of a loose shirt.

Back width measured horizontally below the shoulder line

3. Half-back / Back Width

With your arms relaxed, measure straight across the widest part of your upper back, from one side to the other, as shown. This is a separate measurement from shoulder width; record the full tape reading without halving it.

Tape around the fullest part of the stomach

4. Stomach

Measure around the fullest part of your stomach, usually near your belly button. Keep the tape level and breathe normally. Do not pull your stomach in.

Trouser waist measured at the normal waistband position

5. Trouser Waist

Tuck in your shirt and measure around your body where you normally wear your trouser waistband. Measure your body directly; do not use the size printed on your jeans.

Tape around the fullest part of the hips and seat

6. Hip / Seat

Stand naturally with your feet close together. Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your hips and seat, keeping it level all the way around.

Tape around the fullest part of one thigh

7. Thigh

Measure around the fullest part of one thigh, just below the crotch. Keep your leg relaxed and the tape flat against your clothing without squeezing.

Trouser length measured from the waistband down the outside of the leg

8. Trouser Length

Start at your normal trouser waist position and measure down the outside of your leg to your preferred hem. Stand straight and wear the shoes you plan to wear with the trousers.

Sleeve measured from the shoulder point to the wrist with the arm straight

9. Sleeve Length

Measure from the outer shoulder point down the outside of your arm to your wrist. Keep your arm straight and relaxed, as shown in the picture and measurement form.

Upper arm circumference measured with the bicep relaxed

10. Bicep — Relaxed

Let your arm hang naturally by your side. Measure around the fullest part of your upper arm. Keep the tape snug against your shirt without tightening it.

Upper arm circumference measured with the bicep flexed

11. Bicep — Flexed

Bend your elbow and flex your bicep, as shown. Measure around the fullest part of your upper arm without squeezing it. Record this separately from your relaxed bicep measurement.

Photos help us check the fit

Keep the tape and the body area being measured in the same photo. The form also lets you share bodyline or fabric-reference photos. You may crop or blur your face, while keeping the measurement visible.
