Measurement Guide
We know that taking measurements can be a bit tedious, so we’ve worked
hard to make it as easy for you as possible. Please help us to create the
perfect fit for you by reading the instructions carefully and giving us the
correct measurements.
What will you need?
• A fabric measuring tape. Please avoid string or metallic measuring tape.
• Assistance from another person as it can be very difficult to measure
yourself alone with the necessary accuracy.
• A well fitting shirt and a pair of trousers.
When taking measurements:
• Always take the true measurement. Never ever! Pull the measuring tape
tight or give any ease.
• When taking the measurements stand upright, don't slouch or bend over to
read the inches as this won't give you a true measurement.
•Please provide us your actual measurements and don't just mention off-therack sizes you wear. A bespoke item is designed to fit your unique
specifications, rather than the rough-and-ready approximations and average
s used in off-the-rack clothing.
Please Ensure:
(i) You take every possible care when measuring as your
garments will be solely based on these measurements alone.
(ii) Take all measurements twice to ensure that you are getting
the right numbers

How to Measure: The neck

the neck where the collar should

too tightly.

How to Measure: Measure all
the way around your chest at its
widest point, roughly at the level
of the nipples. Ensure the
measuring tape passes
underneath your armpits and
over your shoulder blades at the
back and don't keep the
measuring tape to be higher in
the front or back, it must be
level all the way around
and should be snug, not pulling
tightly, and not loose.
This measurement is your actual
body measurement and as
explained on the website we will
add an appropriate allowance
according to the type of fit you
chose to improve the final fitting
of your shirt.
