Now that you know how to buy a suit, the only places left to go before we go shopping are measuring the suit and how to wear a suit. This page will help you out greatly if you plan on buying a suit at a consignment shop or a yard sale.

Mens Suits Fit:

Mens suits fit, but only when you know how to properly measure yourself and your prospective suit. Keep in mind that this section is only useful when buying a suit that you cannot try on first or which may need altering.

This is an ideal method to use when browsing through an estate sale, yard sale, or other store in which there are no dressing rooms.

Another application for this method would be for the person trying to measure a suit to sell online. For example, if you bought a suit or have an old suit without size tags, you could use this page to tell you how to get proper measurements to list.

What you will need...

Grab a yardstick or cloth measuring tape and your suit.

Have them....great....lets get started.

Place the suit on flat level ground or on a hanger - your choice.

The Shoulders - Take your stick and place it at the line where the sleeve meets the body and measure to where the body meets the sleeve on the other side.

The Chest - Place your stick just below the armpits and measure across.

The Waist - Put your stick all the way at the bottom of the suit and measure laterally.

Length from nape of neck - Flip your suit over. Place the stick just below the collar and measure down vertically.
