PANT WAIST
Typically your jean size. Measure around your waist, slightly higher than where you wear your jeans, just below your belly button. The tape measure shouldn’t be loose or have slack. This will allow you to create a more accurate measurement. Your pant waist measurement shouldn’t be more than two sizes larger than your normal pant size.
HIP
Measure around the fullest part of your hip & across the seat of your bottom. For your hip measurement, be mindful of your **ahem *ahem booty. If you have a fuller bum, make sure to let us know so we can get the most accurate measurement possible.
OUTSEAM
Measure from the top of your waist to the top of the sole of your shoe. Keep in mind that this measurement does not matter as much if you are purchasing your suit because you’ll probably have the length tailored anyway. But, on the rental side, your outseam matters A LOT, and it’s better to air on the shorter side for your outseam measurement.
NECK
Measure around the base of your neck, leaving space for your index finger in the front. Check out our guide below to see common neck measurements and how they impact your shirt size.
CHEST
Raise your arms in a ‘T’ shape, lower your arms, & then measure around the fullest part of your chest (but not too snug), then rest your arms. Round up to the nearest inch if needed. Make sure your tape measure is straight in the back and across your pecks for the most accurate measurement.
OVERARM
While your arms rest at your sides, measure around the fullest part of your chest & over your arms. If necessary, round up to the nearest inch.
SHIRT SLEEVE
Start at the center of the back of your neck, and extend the tape measure down your shoulder to your wrist with your arm resting at your side. Round up to the nearest inch if necessary.
