How to Pick Clothes That Fit
There are many things to consider when shopping for men's custom clothing. First, you'll need to determine your body type and size. Do you have a muscular build or do you tend to be more ectomorphic? Second, you'll need to know how your clothes should fit. Below we've outlined the three most common body types and how to measure each. Finally, we'll give some tips on how to make sure your clothing fits perfectly.
Body Type 1: Muscular Build
For a muscular build, take your chest measurement and then add 2 inches to that number. This will give you your shoulder measurement. Next, take your waist measurement and subtract 4 inches from that number. This will give you your size in pants (for example, if your waist measurement is 32 inches then you would order a size 32 pant).
Body Type 2: Ectomorphic Build
For an ectomorphic build, take your chest measurement and subtract 2 inches from that number. This will give you your shoulder measurement. Next, take your waist measurement and divide that number by 2. This will give you the size in pants (for example, if your waist measurement is 32 inches then you would order a size 16 pants).
