A big portion of the weddings that we work with have a number of
out of town people who cannot be measured in our store. Even some of our repeat
customers are from out of state and we have even worked with people from out of
country. We always suggest going on to Tuxedofit.com for these clients, because
it shows them where they can get measured in their area and they can just
email, call, or fax the measurements to us. Our clients do not have to be
measured in our store to be able to rent garments from us. We occasionally get
asked if certain clients can be measured at home and that is no problem.
Having general knowledge on how
measurements are taken will make you become more aware if your measurements
look odd if someone else has measured you, regardless if it is a friend or
another tuxedo shop. The measurements that we take are over arm, chest, waist,
hip, neck, sleeve, out seam, coat size and shoe size. We also like knowing your
approximate height and weight because it helps us determine the accuracy of out
of town measurements as well as our own measurements. This video will explain
how each measurement is taken if you are curious or would like someone you know
to do it for you.

The only measurement that was not
mentioned was the hip measurement. This is done simply by measuring over the
fullest part of the hips. This helps to determine the pant size that will be
most comfortable for you, because your waist may fit into the pant but if your
hips do not, it will not be comfortable.
We try to have customers try on garments
if they are in between sizes after we are done with the measurements. So if you
are out of town and feel like you are in between sizes, ask if you can try
something on, because there is nothing wrong with double checking. We suggest
going to someone who has experience with measuring but if you have to do it at
home you will know how.
