TUXEDO JACKET:
Getting sizes for a tuxedo is a relatively easy process. You most likely fit into one of the (3) categories below:


1) You already know your sizes if you own a suit of sports coat.
Tuxedo size scales are similar to suit size scales. If you currently own a suit or sports coat, simply look at your current coat to see what size it is ... it's that easy. You now know what tuxedo coat size you should wear.

Tuxedo trousers work the same way. If you have a pair of suit pants, dress pants, or even khakis (NOTE: not tight jeans), you then have a good idea of what size waist you need for your tuxedo trousers.


2) You do not own a suit or sports coat. You do have access to a local tailor shop.
Once again, getting measurements for your tuxedo should be a relatively easy process. You can always visit a local tailor shop to have your measurements taken (NOTE: you should not be charged a fee because the tailor will usually expect you to come back to him for your tailoring/alterations needs).


3) You do not own a suit or sports coat. You do not have access to a local tailor shop. You do have a tape measure and someone who can measure you.
As long as you have a tape measure and friend/family member, you can easily have your measurements accurately taken.

Be sure to stand up straight with your arms at your sides. Stand relaxed, yet still erect. Have your friend/family member take the tape measure around your chest (at its fullest part) UNDER your arms. Helpful hint: have your friend/family member insert a finger between the tape measure and your body to ensure a comfortable fit. This would be your "Chest Size". (Ex. 40, 42, 44, etc).

Next you want to find out if you are a "Short", "Regular", "Long",
or "X-Long". This is determined by height.
See the chart below, if your height is in the Blue area, you are a short.
If your height is listed in the red area, you are a regular.
If your height is listed in the green area, you are a long.
If your height is taler than 6'3" you are considered to be an X-Long.
Please call us for assistance.

TROUSERS:
Tuxedo trousers: If you have a pair of suit pants, dress pants, or even khakis (NOTE: not tight jeans), you then have a good idea of what size waist you need for your tuxedo trousers. If not, simply have your friend/family member take the tape measure and measure around your waist (this should be where you are comfortable wearing your trousers. Tradition used to state that you should wear your trousers up at your "belly button". Styles change over the years; it's rare that people still wear their trousers up that high). Bottom Line: You want to be comfortable whether you decide to wear your trousers up to belly-button or down closer to your hips.

SHIRTS:
A shirt size is determined primarily by "neck size" and "sleeve length."

To measure neck size = place a tape measure around the base of your neck. Leave your index finger between your neck and tape measure to ensure a comfortable fit.

To measure sleeve length = place a tape measure at the base of your neck / top of back. Start at the base of neck, travel tape measure down to middle of shoulder, and then down to your wrist bone.

NOTE: With boys shirts, sleeve length is dictated by neck size. For example, "boy's X-Small" = 10-10.5 neck will have a 19.5 sleeve; "boys SMALL" = 11-11.5 neck will have a 23.5 sleeve; "boys MEDIUM" = 12-12.5 neck will have a 27.5 sleeve; "boys LARGE" = 13-13.5 neck will have a 31.5 sleeve.
