White Tuxedo 2 Piece

Measuring for a suit

If you already have a suit hanging in your wardrobe that is a comfortable fit, you can use this as a basis for your measurements. 

Measuring for your suit trousers

To get the perfect fit, you'll need to know your waist and inside leg measurements.

The waist measurement for the trousers should be a firm measurement, taken from approximately one inch above the hip bone. 

You can work out your inside leg measurement by starting with your outside leg measurement! Measure the outside leg from one inch above the hip bone, down to the top of the heel (where the heel meets the sole of your shoe). As a general rule, you should then subtract 11 inches from the outside leg measurement (or seven and a half inches for a child) to give you the inside leg.

If you prefer to take an inside leg measurement, you should measure right from the top of the inner seam (where the two seams meet) down to the top of the heel (where the heel meets the top of the shoe).
