| 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. Below is a helpful
chart to assist you in determining your "Coat Length".
SHORT = under 5' 7"
REGULAR = 5' 7.25" - 6'
LONG = 6' 0.25" - 6' 3.5"
X-LONG = 6' 3.75" - 6' 8"
CUSTOM = over 6' 8"

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.

VESTS:

waist size should also be considered with sizing.

For example, suppose you wear a 50 coat, but your
waist size is a 48. With a 50 coat, you would think that an X-Large
(48 - 50) vest would be fine, but since your waist is 48 ... you
would actually do better going with a 2X-Large (52 - 54) vest to
accommodate your waist. Even though the vest will be large in your
chest area, you can then have your tailor "taper" the
vest in the chest area. Here's another example: Suppose you wear
a 44R coat but only have a 34 inch waist. In this case, you would
go with the Large (43 - 46) vest even though your waist range calls
for a Medium. You would then take your vest to a tailor and have
them "taper" the vest in the waist area. Remember: it's
your tailor who can create perfection.
Boys Backless Vests:
"Boys Small" = 3 - 6 Coat Size
"Boys Medium" = 7 - 12 Coat Size
"Boys Large" = 14 - 18 Coat Size
CUMMERBUNDS:
Cummerbunds = cummerbunds are adjustable. Standard cummerbunds fits
a waist size 27 - 50. "Jumbo" cummerbunds fits waist sizes
50 - 60. (NOTE: Jumbo cummerbund sets are only available in "black."
NECKWEAR:
Neckwear = neckwear is adjustable.

SHOES:
Shoe Size = Most of our shoe styles fit "true to size."
The only exceptions would be "The Selector by After Six",
"The Deco by Claiborne", or the "Crocodile by Sevasto
Italiano". The Selector and Deco shoess run a little large;
if you do decide to go in either of these styles, you should consider
going with a 1/2 size smaller than what you normally wear. The
Crocodile by Sevasto Italiano runs small, so you should consider
going with a 1/2 size larger than what you would normally wear.
