You can take all measurements yourself with a regular tape measure. If you need assistance, let us know or ask a local tailor to take the measurements for you. For the best fit, please take all measurements on or close to the skin, not above trousers or jackets. Thank you![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_section][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
