Measurements for Vests & Top Coats

Video Transcript

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.
