Tuxedo Measuring

L’amour Bridal Boutique tuxedo measurement guide. Please use this information below to assist you in your measurements.

*We highly recommend that you go to your nearest tuxedo shop to be measured so the tuxedo you rent from us has an optimum fit.

Shirt Neck -
Place the tape around the neck at the level the collar would be buttoned. Place one finger between the neck and tape, make sure the tape is snug but moves freely.

Shirt Sleeve -
Have customer look straight ahead and keep his arms at his side. Place the start of tape at the base of his neck, at center of his spine. Stretch the tape over top of the shoulder and down the arm just below wrist bone.
Round up the measurement to the closest inch mark.

Chest Measurement -
Ask the customer to move the arms outward. Place the tape under arms and around the broadest part of his chest. Ask customer to lower arms to his side and relax. Make sure the tape is snug but can move freely with one finger between the body and tape.

Overarm Measurement -
With customer’s arms at his side, place the tape around the broadest part of his chest and shoulders. This measurement is critical for a proper coat fit.

Waist Measurement -
Place the tape around customers waist at the level of his navel. This is the height which formal trousers are worn. Make sure top is snug but can move freely. Ask customer if this is comfortable.

Outseam Measurement -
Ask customer to look straight ahead during this measurement. Place the start of the tape at side of waist at the level of the navel. Stretch the tape down the side of leg until you reach top of the heal on his dress shoe. This is your correct outseam measurement.
