THE AFTERHOURS DOUBLE-BREASTED SUIT

Around the fullest part of the chest, under the arms, across the shoulder blades.

Where your pants actually sit — not the belly. That's a different number.

Around the fullest part of the seat, feet together.

Across the back, from the edge of one shoulder bone to the other.

From the shoulder edge, down a relaxed arm, to where the wrist bone sits.

From the base of the collar at the back of the neck straight down to where you want it to end.

Around the base of the neck, one finger of room.

Around the fullest part of one thigh, right below the crotch.

From the crotch seam down the inside of the leg to where you want the pants to break.

From the waistline down the outside of the leg to the same finish point.

Honest numbers. They help us check everything else lines up.
