Why tailor made suits?
How we use clothing illusion to proportionate your upper body to your lower body:
Human bodies are not made to be perfectly symmetrical; nevertheless, a good stylist would be able to balance out your body’s symmetry and have your style in mind when crafting your suit!
Below shows the difference in your suit when a good stylist factors in your body whilst styling and the crucial locations we look at to balance out our body’s symmetry.

The Complete Measuring Guide
From The Best Tailor in Bangkok
Neck
- Measure around your neck at the height where your collar, if buttoned, would be.
- This measurement should be taken along the lower section of the neck, below your Adams Apple and above your Sternal Notch.
- The tape should be comfortably touching the skin, with enough room so that you do not feel restricted.
Chest
- Measure around the chest and body at its fullest part (typically right under the armpits and shoulder blades, right across the nipples).
- Hold the tape against the body tight enough so that it does not slip down, but not so tight that it restricts breathing. It should be “snug”.
- Make sure the tape is horizontal and the person's arms are by their side; then take a normal breath and measure.
- Do not puff out your chest.
Shoulder width
- Measure from the end of the right shoulder to the end of the left shoulder.
- We define the “End of the Shoulder” as where the horizontal plane of the shoulder intersects the vertical plane of the arm.
Sleeves
- Measure from the end of the right shoulder to where the base of the thumb and the base of the index finger intersect (approximately 1 inch above the index finger knuckle). Do the same to the left sleeve.
Bicep measurement
- Measure around the fullest part of the bicep with the arms by your side.
Wrist measurement
- Measure around the fullest part of the wrist.
Waist/stomach
- Measure around the fullest part of the waist/stomach or right below your bottom ribs, whichever is greater.
Hips/seat
- Measure around the fullest part of your hips and buttocks.
Jacket length (front)
- Measure straight down the front from the base of the neck (right or left side) to the point level with your thumb knuckle.
Front chest
- With the person's arms by their side, measure across the front of the chest.
- Start at the front of the right armpit, continue measuring across the nipples, and then stop at the front of the left armpit. Do not measure under the arms.
Back
- With the person's arms by their side, measure across the back.
- Start at the back of the right armpit, continue measuring across the shoulder blades, and then stop at the back of the left armpit. Do not measure under the arms.
Trouser/waist
- Measure around your waist at the level where you would normally wear your pant’s belt.
- With the tape measure snug around your waist, relax, and take the measurement.
- Don't be alarmed if this measurement seems larger than expected; off-the-rack pants are normally labeled as being smaller than what they really are.
Trouser/ Outseam
- Measure from the top of your pant’s waistband to the floor along the outside of your leg.
- Make sure the tape is tight, that you are standing straight, and then measure. No shoes please!
Crotch
- Measure from the front top of the pant's waistband to the back top of the pant's waistband.
- Make sure not to take this measurement too tight.
Thigh
- Measure from the front top of the pant's waistband to the back top of the pant's waistband.
- Make sure not to take this measurement too tight.
Knee
- Measure around your knee at its widest point.
- You need only measure one side.
Cuff
- Measure around your cuff at its widest point.
- You need only measure one side.
