WAISTCOAT MEASUREMENTS
Select a waistcoat size that is your “Base size”, and then make adjustments by pressing plus or minus.
BASE SIZE:
STEP 1:
Place the waistcoat flat on a table face up buttoned. Smooth out any wrinkles or folds using your hands to ensure the fabric lies flat.
STEP 2:
Measure straight across from the bottom of one armhole to the other. Multiply the number by two to get the full chest circumference.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure to keep measurement tape tight without any looseness.
STEP 1:
Place the waistcoat flat on a table face up buttoned. Smooth out any wrinkles or folds using your hands to ensure the fabric lies flat.
STEP 2:
Find the narrowest part of the waistcoat and measure straight across from one side to the other. Multiply the number by two to get the full upper waist circumference.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure to keep measurement tape tight without any looseness.
STEP 1:
Place the waistcoat flat on a table face up buttoned. Smooth out any wrinkles or folds using your hands to ensure the fabric lies flat.
STEP 2:
Find the side seams at the lowest point of the waistcoat. Measure from seam to seam. Multiply the number by two to get the full hip circumference.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure to keep measurement tape tight without any looseness.
STEP 1:
Place the waistcoat flat on a table face down. Smooth out any wrinkles or folds using your hands to ensure the fabric lies flat.
STEP 2:
Measure vertically from the center of the collar seam down to the bottom hem. If your waistcoat has a collar — the collar should not be included when measuring the back length.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure to keep measurement tape tight without any looseness.
ADVANCED SIZE OPTIONS
Forward Posture: When the shoulders lean forward in relation to the torso, the back hem will appear shorter and the front will look longer. This adjustment adds length to the back and reduces excess length in the front to restore balance. Apply this correction carefully — even small adjustments create a clear visual change.
Backward Posture: If the shoulders lean back in relation to the torso, the front hem will appear shorter than the back. This adjustment adds length to the front and shortens the back to balance the waistcoat. Use this correction sparingly, as subtle changes make a noticeable impact.
If the fit is good in this area, no alteration is needed.
Collar gap: If the waistcoat neck is too wide a collar grap is created. Use this tool to adjust the neck width.
Collar creases: If the waistcoat neck is too narrow creases appear in the neck area. Use this tool to adjust the neck width.
If the fit is good in this area, no alteration is needed.
Shoulders are considered sloped when they angle downward more than usual. This often leads to creasing around the upper back and armhole area. The issue can be corrected by lowering the shoulder angle in the waistcoat’s construction.
A shoulder is considered squared when it angles upward more than average. This typically causes a horizontal crease across the upper back, wider than the space between the ears. The fit can be improved by increasing the shoulder angle.

Increase: If the waistcoat feels too tight in the front — making it difficult or impossible to close the buttons — but still looks good in the back, this adjustment adds width to the front panel of the waistcoat. It's commonly used to accommodate extra weight around the stomach or hips.
Decrease: If the waistcoat feels too loose in the front — this typically happens when the waist is narrower relative to the chest — but still looks good in the back, this adjustment adds width to the front panel of the waistcoat.
If the fit is good in this area, no alteration is needed.
If the area below the armpit feels too tight, this adjustment increases the height of the armhole to ease restriction and improve range of motion.
If the area below the armpit feels too loose, while the sides fit well, this adjustment raises the lower curve to reduce excess space. It improves fit and support in that specific area without altering the overall shape.
If the fit is good in this area, no alteration is needed.
If the armhole feels too tight all around — restricting movement and causing pulling — this adjustment increases the overall circumference of the armhole for improved comfort and mobility.
If the armhole feels too large all around, this adjustment reduces the circumference for a closer, more tailored fit.
If the fit is good in this area, no alteration is needed.
If the top button sits lower than you prefer, this adjustment will shift all buttons higher on the waistcoat. Simply specify how many centimeters / inches you would like it to be raised.
If the top button sits higher than you prefer, this adjustment will shift all buttons lower on the waistcoat. Simply specify how many centimeters / inches you would like it to be lowered.

If the waistcoat feels too short in the front while the back fits well, this adjustment will lengthen the front to your desired measurement.

BODY MEASUREMENTS
Enter your body measurements. Our AI-system will suggest garment measurements for you. You can make adjustments by pressing plus or minus.
Stand upright without shoes, back against a wall, with feet together and shoulders relaxed. Measure from the top of the head down to the floor. Use a flat object (like a book) to mark the top of the head, then measure vertically to the ground.
Keep the measuring tape straight.
Wrap the measuring tape around the fullest part of the chest, typically just under the armpits and across the nipples. Keep the tape level and snug, but not tight. Breath normally — do not hold breath nor puff the chest.
Keep the measuring tape straight.
Wrap the measuring tape around the upper waist — just above the navel and below the ribcage. Keep the tape horizontal, snug, and allow for natural breathing.
Keep the measuring tape straight.
Stand with feet together and wrap the measuring tape around the fullest part of the hips and seat. Keep the tape level and snug, without digging into the body. Make sure pockets are empty and you are standing upright.
Keep the measuring tape straight.
Measure from the base of the neck straight down to the point where you want the waistcoat to end (normally at the waistband of the trousers). Stand upright and have someone place the tape at the center of the back collar base, then measure vertically down along the spine.
Keep the measuring tape straight.

Keep the measuring tape straight.
Flat stomach: This build shows little to no protrusion at the midsection. Garments follow the natural taper from chest to waist and sit close to the body without tension. Most tailored fits accommodate this shape with minimal alteration.
Round stomach: A fuller stomach that projects outward from the side view. This shape can cause garments to flare open or ride up if not cut appropriately. Patterns often need additional room in the front waist and hem to allow for a clean, uninterrupted line from chest to hip.
