MEASUREMENTS
In order to make the best fitting garments possible, Kings uses 3 measurement options, your body measurements or sample garment measurement and/or also sending us your best fitting garment. We guide you through our online measurement process step-by-step with easy to follow images. It only takes 10 minutes and can be done from the comfort of your own home.
You'll be prompted with measurement options once you're ready to checkout — after choosing and customizing from a full selection of suits, shirts or trousers to match your style.
Once your order is placed, one of our Master Tailors will create a custom made garment just for you with your entered measurements option.
-
Do I need a tailor to take my measurements?Not at all. It’s simple. Take measures into your hands with our handy instructions to measure your best fitting sample garment, or simply ask a friend to follow the image guide to take your body measurements.
-
Can I use the measurements from a suit I own?Absolutely. We do recommend shipping us the sample garment as well. We will be glad to exactly replicate the garment you would send, with or without any modifications you may like. We then save the measurements and make a paper pattern for your future orders. We will ship it back to you along with your newly made garment
-
How do I ensure my measurements are accurate?Follow our handy instructions and you can’t go wrong. That said, there’s a chance some of your garments won’t fit the way you want right out of the box; minor alterations might be needed. If that's the case, please email us at care@kingsbespoke.com and one of our Customer Experience Guides will be happy to help. We want to make sure you’re happy, so it’s a breeze if you order again in the future.
-
The measurements I've taken while measuring myself are different than the measurements for my "off the rack" clothing. Is this a mistake?"No mistake. Off the rack sizing actually varies a lot. Welcome to the world of made to measure. Sizing as you know it is about to change.
-
How can I check the measurements I have on file?Login and go to the Measurements section to view your saved measurements. If you have any questions about your measurements or would like to tweak the fit of your garments, email us at care@kingsbespoke.com and we'll be happy to help.
-
Why was I contacted to redo certain measurements?Our fancy algorithm can predict an approximate measurement range based on your age, height, and weight. but it’s still not an exact science. If any of your measurements look off to our master tailors, we just want you to double-check them.
