Purchasing suits online is no longer difficult with our guide on how to measure for a suit. Simply follow the below instructions on how to measure yourself to ensure that you achieve the perfect fit when buying a suit online. 

THE TAPE MEASURE DOSEN'T LIE.

As a rule of thumb please do not assume your sizes based on casual clothing these are usually wrong and invariably do not reflect your actual size. If however you already wear tailoring regularly you should be able to accurately select your size. You can also measure garments you already own with a tape measure. If a for instance a pair of jeans fits you well you can simply measure across the waistband, but please ignore the size label these are usually incorrect.

You will need to wear a close-fitting t-shirt when measuring yourself for a suit to ensure an accurate measurement. You will also need a cloth tape measure sometimes the help of another person is preferable but not essential.

Once you have your basic measurements, feel free to get in touch with us for further assistance on how to buy your suit online. But in the meantime, here is a guide:

Long/Short Fitted Suits:

First on how to measure yourself for a suit would be considering the length. When ordering long or short fitted suits, here are the rules that you must follow:

• If you are under 5'8" in height, opt for a short fitting suit
• If you are 6'3" or over, a long fitting is advisable

Remember, this is a guide only as regular fit suits can be altered to fit. (ie sleeves can be shortened or lengthened and trousers can also be altered.)
