How to measure for a bespoke suit or shirt
If you cannot get to Karon Beach, you can send us your own measurements. Take them over a thin shirt, stand naturally, and let the tape sit snug but never tight.
Before you start
- Use a soft tailor's tape, not a builder's tape or a piece of string.
- Ask someone to help with the back, shoulder and sleeve measurements.
- Wear the shoes and shirt you would normally wear with the garment.
- Record everything in centimetres or inches — just tell us which.
Jacket & blazer
- Chest
- Around the fullest part of the chest, tape level, arms relaxed at your sides.
- Waist
- Around the natural waist just above the hip bone — do not pull the tape tight.
- Seat
- Around the fullest part of the hips with pockets emptied.
- Shoulder
- From the seam point of one shoulder across the back to the other.
- Sleeve
- From the shoulder point over a slightly bent elbow to the wrist bone.
- Jacket length
- From the base of the collar down to where you want the hem to finish.
Trousers
- Waist
- Measure around your natural waistline where the trousers will sit, not where your belt feels tightest.
- Hips
- Measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat with pockets emptied.
- Crotch
- Measure from the front waistband, down between the legs, and up to the back waistband.
- Thighs
- Measure around the widest part of one thigh, keeping the tape horizontal.
- Knees
- Measure around the knee at the centre of the kneecap, with the leg relaxed.
- Cuffs
- Measure around the ankle where you want the trouser hem to finish.
- Outseam length
- From the waistband down the outside of the leg to the desired hem.
- Inseam
- From the crotch seam down the inside leg to the top of the shoe.
Shirt
- Chest
- Around the fullest part of the chest, tape level, arms relaxed at your sides — measured over a thin shirt.
- Waist
- Around the natural waist, over a thin shirt only, with the tape snug but not tight.
- Hips
- Around the fullest part of the hips so the shirt hem drapes cleanly over the trousers.
- Shoulders
- Straight across the back from one shoulder seam to the other.
- Sleeves
- From the shoulder point over a slightly bent elbow to the wrist bone.
- Biceps
- Around the fullest part of the upper arm with the arm relaxed.
- Wrist
- Around the wrist bone, plus a little room for a watch if you wear one.
- Shirt length
- From the base of the collar at the back, down to where you want the shirt hem to end.
