The Perfect Fit, Every Time
Our made-to-measure process starts with accurate measurements. Use this guide to take yours correctly, or let our FitQuiz walk you through it.
How to Take Your Measurements
- 1 Use a soft measuring tape (the kind used by tailors). A rigid tape will give inaccurate results.
- 2 Wear well-fitting underwear or minimal clothing so the tape sits against your body.
- 3 Stand in a relaxed, upright posture — do not suck in your stomach or puff out your chest.
- 4 Have a friend take your measurements where possible — self-measurement can introduce errors.
- 5 For each measurement, make sure the tape is snug but not tight. You should be able to slide two fingers under the tape.
- 6 Take each measurement twice and use the larger value if they differ.
- 7 Not sure? Our FitQuiz will guide you through each measurement step by step.
