How to Find Your Perfect Waistcoat Fit
For the most accurate fit, it is highly recommended to measure a waistcoat that you already own and that fits you well, rather than measuring your own body. This method accounts for the garment's specific cut and styling.
What You'll Need:
A waistcoat of a similar style that fits you perfectly.
A flat measuring tape (or tailor's tape).
A flat surface, like a table or the floor.
Step-by-Step Measurement Guide
Lay your waistcoat flat on a surface, button it up, and smooth out any wrinkles before you begin.
A - Shoulder
How to Measure: Locate the seams at the top of the waistcoat where the shoulder meets the armhole.
Action: Measure in a straight line across the back of the waistcoat from one shoulder seam to the other.
B - Chest
How to Measure: Find the lowest point of the armhole seams (the "pit").
Action: Measure in a straight line from the seam under one armpit to the seam under the other.
Important: The chart shows the full chest circumference. You will need to double the number you measured to get the correct value to compare with the chart. (For example, if you measure 50cm, your chest value is 100cm).
C - Length
How to Measure: This is the total length of the waistcoat back.
Action: Turn the waistcoat over so the back is facing up. Measure straight down the center of the back from the seam where the neckband attaches to the main body, all the way to the bottom hem.
How to Use the Chart
Record Your Measurements: Write down your measurements for A, B, and C in centimeters.
Compare to the Chart: Look at the size chart and find the row where your measurements most closely match.
Prioritize Key Fits: The Chest (B) and Shoulder (A) measurements are generally the most critical for a comfortable and well-fitting waistcoat.
If You're Between Sizes: It is generally recommended to choose the larger size. Waistcoats can often be slightly taken in by a tailor if needed, which is easier than making them larger.
