This 3-piece dark blue wedding suit with a sand-coloured waistcoat is designed for a summer wedding where the groom desires a well-dressed but not overly extravagant look.

Another point of attention is that the groom is tall and muscular. This presents additional challenges in measuring and advising to ensure a beautiful suit that is also wearable and provides sufficient freedom of movement.

What we encountered during the measurement taking for this client

The customer for whom this suit is made often faces the challenge when buying or having a made-to-measure suit that it is not precisely tailored to his proportions.

With bespoke tailoring, the clothing is purely crafted based on personal measurements and proportions, creating the right balance and solving this issue immediately.

For example, the length may be right, but it could be too tight around the arms, etc.

Firstly, we ensure that all measurements are taken accurately. Our experience provides a significant advantage in this regard. Over the years, you become familiar with various body types and understand how body measurements relate to fabric, style, and fit.

With this client, you encounter the challenge that when he sits or moves his arms, the biceps and thighs become much larger than someone with a normal physique.

It's also crucial to ensure that the clothing is roomy enough around the calves and buttocks to prevent it from catching or tearing.

Another important point is to consider the chest and shoulders. These areas need to be measured more generously to allow the client to move comfortably. Consequently, the armhole is also larger.

Chest and waist measurements in a suit

Another aspect with muscular clients is the ratio between the chest and waist. If the chest is broad and the waist is narrow, measuring this in a standard way can result in an odd look in the suit, causing the neck to gap.
