How to measure

  1. 1

    Chest D

    Around the fullest part of your chest, level and straight across front and back.

  2. 2

    Waist E

    Around your natural waistline, kept level all the way round.

  3. 3

    Height A

    Your complete height, floor to top of head — we use it to set the body length.

Three-piece tip. Use the same chest and waist figures across jacket and waistcoat so the set sits together cleanly.
