MEASURING GUIDE
KEY NOTES FOR MEASURING A WAISTCOAT
1. Grab a friend to help, it’s much easier (especially if you have a drink in hand). A second pair of hands makes for a more accurate fit.
2. Wear your morning suit trousers and your suit shirt when taking measurements to ensure everything fits perfectly on the day.
3. Measure in Inches.
P.s you will need a measuring tape.
HOW TO MEASURE YOUR WAISTCOAT LENGTH
1. Make sure your shirt collar is fastened and your morning suit trousers are on. Stand upright.
2. Find where your collar meets your shoulder line/ trap muscle... Have your friend measure from this point and let the tape drop to below the bottom waistband line of your morning suit trousers.
HOW TO TAKE A CHEST MEASUREMENT
1. Stand upright, and raise your arms so your friend (or you) can wrap the tape measure around your chest.
2. Keep your arms up. Make sure the tape measure is around the fullest part of your chest, keeping it level and positioned high under your armpits.
3. Once the tape is in place, relax your arms down by your sides. Make sure the tape measure sits comfortably around the fullest part of your chest.
4. It should fit close to your body without being tight. Don't suck in your stomach! Breathe normally for an accurate measurement.
