To find the right fit

How to measure for your suit

Fit is key

A suit is only as good as its fit. Your perfect blazer should instantly make you feel polished and put together. The right fit will not only be stylish but also comfortable to wear for hours. Plus, it's built to last, so you can rely on it for years. The perfect trousers should make you feel like you can do it all in them. With the right fit, you'll feel comfortable and unrestricted to move throughout your day like a boss. To find your best fit and size, you need to get your measurements for the blazer and the pants. Read on to learn how to proceed.

Here’s what you will need

Grab a measuring tape, a pen, and a piece of paper. After each measurement write them down and compare them to the size chart of the brand you are interested in to find your accurate size. Let’s go!

For the blazer

For the shoulder measurement, wear a shirt that fits you well for an accurate result. Place the tape where the shoulder and arm seam meet and measure across the back to the other shoulder and arm seam.

For the sleeve measurement, keep your arms down at your sides and shoulders relaxed, and hold the measuring tape at the edge of the shoulder and arm seam. Measure straight down to the middle of the wrist.

For the chest measurement, stand with the arms by your side while standing relaxed, and measure around the widest part of your chest.

For the overarm measurement, wrap the tape measure over and around the shoulder blades, around the same spot as the chest underarm measurement.
