Body measurements for jackets and vests

   For a jacket that fits you perfectly take on your own or ask someone to take your measurements by STRICTLY following our instructions and the pictures. It's easy and will take about 10 minutes.
   To measure yourself please don't use any other methods of measurement than the ones detailed below. We advise you to take the measurements directly on your body (wearing nothing else than a shirt and to measure directly on it). The measurements should never be taken directly wearing a jacket.
   Please be especially careful of the instructions in bold and take the measurements exactly as described in the explanations without trying to modify them by yourself. Our tailors will be in charge of designing the pattern that will correspond to your measurements.
