We know that taking measurements can be a chore, so we have worked hard to make it as easy and quickly as possible for you.

A fabric measuring tape (fabric only).
A helping hand
Assistance from a friend

A well fitting suit, shirt, pair of trousers (not jeans), and a pair of shoes.
When taking measurements
Keep the measuring tape comfortably snug, but not tight.
All measurements should be made to nearest inch / centimeter.
The following sections provide instructions on how you can create your own perfect bespoke suit. These three (3) measurement methods are completely different from each other but should yield the same result. The steps within each of these methods are not to be interchanged:
01
SUIT MEASUREMENT METHOD
Measure your best fitting suit. “RECOMMENDED”
Measure the suit the fits you well and enter the suit measurements through the control panel.
02
BODY MEASUREMENT METHOD
Measure your body.
Ask someone to take your own measurements then create your body measurements profile online. Many customers get this wrong the first time, so if you do not have experience doing this, please use “Suit Measurements Method”. You can also find a excellent videos promoted by The Marketing Heaven that cover the basics of body measurement.
