    Before we begin production for bespoke orders, we review the given measurement and where need be, make necessary adjustments only after informing the customer.

    MEASURING TIPS

    Here are some tips to help you measure yourself. If you don’t have a measuring tape, you can get one shopping under the accessory category. We recommend you take some time in order to measure yourself or have someone else measure you up to ensure you get the correct size.

    xfit male bespoke size guide

    2. SHOULDER: Place the tape where shoulder meets the arm or the bonniest part of your shoulder measuring straight from the edge of one shoulder to the other.
    3. CHEST: Lift your arms slightly and measure around your upper body (without a shirt is best), crossing the tape over the fullest part of your chest.
    4. AROUND SLEEVE: Measure around the widest section of your upper arm located above the elbow
    5. ABDOMEN: Measure around the fullest part of your stomach. Keep a finger between your body and the tape to ensure an accurate fit.
