While it’s generally best to have a professional take your measurements for a tuxedo or suit rental, we understand it’s not always convenient. Whether you’re an out-of-town groomsman who needs to submit measurements for a wedding, your busy schedule just won’t allow you to visit a local store, or you feel more comfortable doing the measurements yourself, we have you covered. Follow these easy step-by-step instructions to learn how to measure for a suit or tuxedo out of the store and in the comfort of your own home.
For accurate results, you’ll need two people to complete the process. You’ll also need a quality tailor’s measuring tape which is available for purchase at most stores. Follow the steps closely, as accurate measurements are important for a properly fitted tuxedo or suit.
