Measurements for Tuxedo and Suit Rentals

SUIT AND TUX MEASUREMENTS FORM


Move your arms outward. Place tape under arms and around the broadest part of the chest. Then make sure the arms are down to their side after your measuring tape is in the proper location. when the arms are lowered, the tame may slide up to 1" greater. Do not place any fingers between tape and chest.
Stand straight up and relax (don't flex your pecs). With a shirt on, place the tape around the broadest part of the chest and shoulders. Do not place any of your fingers between the tape and the chest. This measurement is critical for those with overly broad shoulders.
If you don't know your coat size, just enter a 0
To measure seat or hips, measure around the fullest part of the seat.
Measure at your belly button. This measurement is used to help size your coat since it has to be wide enough to go around your mid-section so you can button it.
Tuxedo pants have a longer rise than most Dockers or jeans. Measure the waist at the navel. This is the height at which formal trousers are worn. In the event of a large belly, measure the waist where the pants will be worn. Make sure that you do not measure over a belt, wallet, cell phone clip, etc. as this may adversely affect your measurements.
With shoes on (similar to the shoes you will be wearing at the wedding), stand straight up and face forward. Have your helper measure from the waist (level with the navel)to the top of the heel of your shoe. This measurement helps determine the length of the pants and also serves as a guide for coat length.
Waist-In Seam: This is the size when purchasing a pair of jeans or Dockers.
Place tape around neck at the level where the shirt's collar would be buttoned. Note the measurement without any fingers between the tape and the neck and add 1" for the proper shirt size.
When measuring the sleeve length, make sure you start the tape just below the neck, centered with the spine. Make sure that the tape measure goes over the top of the shoulder. Take the tape down the arm to the point of their elbow and then measure an inch and a half past the wrist bone. It is always better to measure long versus short.
Most shoes run true to size but keep in mind the type of sock you'll be wearing. MEN'S MEDIUM: sizes 6.5 to 11.5, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 MEN'S WIDE: sizes to 11.5, 12, 13, 14, 15 BOYS: sizes 1 to 6 TODDLER: sizes 8 to 13.5
