How do I best take sizes, with clothes on or without any clothes on? Should I submit sizes in centimeters or Inches ?


Our measurement form is very comprehensive and can be used for all garments, including shirts, suits, pants, etc. Two-dimensional measurements such as lengths, shoulder widths, etc, can be taken off another piece of clothing that fits well but three-dimensional measurements such as chest circumference, stomach, etc., should be taken off the body. Use the video tutorials on the forms to see how to best take measurements. When taking Measurements, we recommend a thin shirt or t-shirt and a well fitting pair of pants. Tights, jogging suits, corsets or any other body binding garments should not be worn when taking the sizes.
For pant and trouser measurements, wear items that sit exactly where you want your custom pants to sit. The position of the pants waist band on the waist at the sides, front and back are required when taking measurements for the pants out seam and U-crotch.
Jacket lengths do not necessarily have to conform to the second knuckle on the thumb since some people have long arms and others short arms as well as styles selected also make a difference. Ideally, the standard jacket length should cover at least the buttocks at the back and the crotch in the front.
Do not take the neck size of shirts tightly or snugly. Make sure a finger is kept between the tape and the body for comfort allowance for the collar. We do not recommend using off the rack measurements for custom clothing. When submitting shirt sleeve lengths, measure sleeve length from the top of the shoulder to the length desired as is described in the measurements forms.
For your convenience, each measurement requirement for each kind of garment is indicated using icons so that those minimal sizes get submitted as necessary.

Measurements can be submitted in centimeters or in inches. Since our legacy is the traditional school of tailoring, we work with inches and should sizes be submitted in centimeters we will convert them to inches. So, it is safe to say that we prefer inches. Remember to select the appropriate unit of measurement when submitting the sizes.
