So, let's say you are not only getting a suit tailored to you, but you?re going to have
a vest that goes underneath the jacket, then you're going to have a coat that goes over
the suit jacket. You're going to want to go ahead and take the measurements, like we took
for the suit for the front length. Start up at the shoulder seam, where you started with
the suit jacket and remember we brought the tape down to where we wanted it to hit. But,
now we want it where our vest is going to hit, so it's going to be at that shorter length,
so that would be your front length for your vest and then keeping the tape here, you're
going to want to bring it down to, most coats go longer than your suit jacket, to that three
quarter length, that's down here and where you desire it on your thigh. Based on your
different height, you're going to have your own personal measurement, so you want to make
sure that you really get the measurement where you comfortably like your vest to sit, and
where you comfortable like your coat to sit. So, I'll draw that out, so it makes visual
sense. So, what we measured on the vest first was, at the shoulder seam here and then we
brought it all the way down to where we wanted that vest to hit there and then we recorded
that measurement. And then on the coat we did the exact same thing, starting right there
down to that three quarter length and where we want the coat to hit our thighs, right
here.
