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 taller than 6'3" you are considered to be an X-Long.
Please call us for assistance. |
You can also use the chart below to determine your exact tux/suit size

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. |

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. *** Still confused? We take pride

your sizes, please feel free to call one of our friendly representatives

|
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 shoes 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.
