How to Measure for a Suit

A suit requires measurements for both the jacket and trousers. You can use garments from different sources — they don't need to be from the same suit. Refer to the Jackets and Pants guides above for step-by-step instructions with images.

Body Measurements for a Suit

Follow the Jacket body guide for your upper body, then the Pants body guide for your lower body. Combined, this gives us everything we need to create both garments.

Pro Tips for Better Measurements

Measure Twice

Take each measurement twice and compare. If the numbers differ by more than ½″, measure a third time.

Measure at the Right Time

Body measurements can change throughout the day. Measure when you'll typically be wearing the garment.

Iron Before Measuring

If measuring an existing garment, iron it flat first. Wrinkles can add 0.5″–1″ of error.

When in Doubt, Ask Us

Not sure about a measurement? Send us a photo of how you're holding the tape. Our fit experts will confirm or correct it. Email us at fit@luxire.com.

Don't Worry About Perfection

If anything is off, we'll remake it at no cost. That's the Luxire 100% Fit Guarantee.

Keep Pleats Closed

When measuring pleated pants, always measure with the pleats folded closed — never stretched open.
