How To Measure Waistcoat


Our step-by-step guide will help ensure a perfect fit for your new tartan waistcoat! If you need further assistance, please get in touch.

Before You Start...
  • Always ask someone to measure you, never be tempted to measure yourself!
  • Please take all measurements in inches.
  • Please use a loose tailors tape measure, not a stiff DIY tape measure. These are cheap to buy either locally or online.
  • Stand relaxed (do not breathe in), with your feet together and look straight ahead at all times.
  • Ensure the tape measure is level all the way around for each measurement, it shouldn't be sloping or slanting.
  • If you need our assistance, please get in touch for further assistance.

Chest
  1. Measure high under the armpits, at the widest point around your upper body (relax your arms down to the side before recording the measurement).
  2. The tape measure should include the shoulder blades.
Tummy
  1. Measure the widest point of the tummy, which is usually at navel height.
  2. Add 1 inch for movement, or take a loose measurement.
  3. PLEASE NOTE, THIS IS NOT YOUR WAIST SIZE.
  4. This measurement ensures that the garment(s) we send you can be fastened around your tummy. It's not something other companies ask for, but it's very important!
