CHEST: |
FIRST OF ALL,
FACE THE PERSON WHO IS MEASURING YOU. ASK THEM TO TAKE A MEASURING
TAPE AROUND YOUR CHEST, MAKING SURE THAT IT IS PLACED ACROSS THE
SHOULDER BLADES. THEN BRING IT AROUND TO YOUR FRONT, UNDER THE
ARMPITS AND OVER THE HEAVIEST PART OF THE CHEST. TAKE A BODY MEASUREMENT
FIRST, (FIRMLY AGAINST THE BODY WITH NO SLACKNESS). THEN EASE THE
TAPE OUT ABOUT 2 INCHES. THIS WILL GIVE YOU THE ACTUAL JACKET SIZE! |

CROWN TO CUFF: |
STAND UP STRAIGHT WITH YOUR
ARM BY YOUR SIDE. IT IS BEST TO TRY AND WEAR YOUR OWN SUIT JACKET
FOR THIS MEASUREMENT. YOU NEED TO MEASURE FROM WHERE THE SHOULDER & SLEEVE
JOIN AT THE SHOULDER END. TAKE THE TAPE DOWN FROM HERE TO WHERE
YOUR WRIST JOINS YOUR THUMB. THIS WILL GIVE YOU YOUR CROWN TO CUFF
MEASUREMENT! |

KILT WAIST: |
TAKE THE TAPE AROUND YOUR
BODY AGAIN, BUT THIS TIME MEASURE BETWEEN THE BOTTOM OF YOUR RIB
CAGE AND YOUR BELLY BUTTON! THIS IS WHERE THE TOP OF THE KILT SITS,
( NOT ON YOUR TROUSER WAIST). THIS TIME YOU WANT
AN ACTUAL BODY MEASURE, IT SHOULD BE FIRM BUT COMFORTABLE (REMEMBER,
THIS IS HOW THE KILT WILL FEEL WHEN IT IS ON). YOU NOW HAVE YOUR
KILT WAIST MEASUREMENT! |

KILT LENGTH: |
STAND UP STRAIGHT WITH YOUR FEET TOGETHER, TAKE THE
TAPE AND MEASURE FROM BETWEEN YOUR RIB CAGE AND BELLY BUTTON DOWN
THE SIDE OF YOUR BODY TO THE MIDDLE OF YOUR KNEE. THIS WILL GIVE
YOU YOUR KILT LENGTH MEASUREMENT! |
Measurement
|
|
|
|
TROUSER WAIST: |
SIMILAR TO THE KILT WAIST MEASUREMENT, BUT THIS TIME
MEASURE JUST ABOVE THE HIPS! |
Measurement
|
|
|
|
TROUSER LENGTH: |
WHAT YOU NEED HERE IS AN "INSIDE
LEG" MEASUREMENT. TAKE A PAIR OF YOUR OWN TROUSERS (NOT JEANS),
MEASURE DOWN ONE LEG STARTING FROM WHERE THE INSIDE SEAMS MEET
AT THE CROTCH. MEASURE FROM THE JOIN AND CONTINUE DOWN THE SEAM
TO THE HEM OF THE LEG. THIS WILL GIVE YOU YOUR INSIDE LEG MEASUREMENT! |

|
COLLAR: |
CHECK THE COLLAR SIZE ON
ONE OF YOUR OWN DRESS SHIRTS, OR ALTERNATIVELY MEASURE AROUND THE
NECK MEETING THE TAPE TOGETHER JUST BELOW THE ADAMS APPLE. GIVE
YOURSELF AT LEAST A FINGER SPACE, MORE IF YOU PREFER! THIS WILL
GIVE YOU YOUR COLLAR SIZE! |
Measurement

|
|
|
SHOE SIZE: |
CHECK THE SIZE ON A PAIR OF YOUR OWN DRESS SHOES,
(NOT CASUAL BOOTS OR TRAINERS). |
Measurement
|
|
|
|
HEIGHT: |
TAKE OFF YOUR SHOES, THEN
STAND UP STRAIGHT WITH YOUR BACK AGAINST A WALL. YOU NEED TO MEASURE
FROM THE FLOOR, UP THE WALL AND FINISH IN LINE WITH THE TOP OF
YOUR HEAD. PREFERABLY WE WOULD LIKE THIS MEASUREMENT IN "FEET" AND
ANY DIFFERENCE IN "INCHES", e.g. 69 INCHES WOULD BE 5 FT 9 INCHES.
THIS MEASUREMENT HELPS US TO CONFIRM YOUR JACKET & SLEEVE LENGTH! |
