Measuring Thigh & Cuff Dimensions

If you are getting pants completely tailored from scratch, there's two extra measurements besides just the inseam, the side seam, and the waist that you're going to need. And those are your thigh, and then your cuff dimensions. So your thigh would be around here; right around here. Measure there, measure the circumference of the upper part of your thigh, and then your cuff dimension is the circumference around your cuff. However, you know, you'd like it to be. A lot of men's pants don't flare out, they tailor in. So you want to measure the circumference around how you want it to tailor--to tailor down. And that would be two detailed measurements that would aid in the creator and the tailor of your custom pants.
