Suit Measurement & Sizing Guide
Uncompromising precision for executive bespoke suiting in Kigali, Rwanda.
Our Professional Fitting Protocols
To achieve the flawless silhouette expected of an elite bespoke garment, we recommend the following measurement hierarchy:
Atelier or Mobile Fitting
Visit our master tailors at the MIC Building / Norvège or schedule a VIP workplace/house call for precision in-person measurement.
Professional Tailor
Have an experienced local tailor measure you using our 12-point guide if you cannot visit our atelier directly.
Assisted DIY Method
If taking measurements at home, never do it alone. Always enlist a trusted family member or friend to hold the tape.
Standard Sizing Reference
Provide your tried-and-true standard suit size (e.g., EU/US sizes or S/M/L/XL) from an unadjusted garment that fits you perfectly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I add extra wearing ease to my measurements?
No. Please provide your exact anatomical body measurements. Our master tailoring team calculates all necessary structural ease and posture adjustments for you.
What if I prefer using my standard suit size?
If you already wear a standard ready-to-wear suit size (e.g., EU/US 40, 42, 44 or S/M/L/XL) from unadjusted garments, you can simply share that size with us during your consultation.
Can I have another professional tailor measure me?
Yes. If you cannot visit our Kigali atelier, you may have an experienced local tailor take your measurements using this 12-point guide and submit the numbers to us.
Can I take my measurements at home?
Yes, but we strictly recommend having a trusted family member or friend assist you to ensure absolute tape accuracy.
