    Before We Begin

    Measuring yourself is a simple process if you follow the rules. Here are a few things to keep in mind when measuring yourself to make sure you get the best result. Click the options so we know that you've got the message. 

    Don't stress! We run every set of measurement through our AR and Averaging system. If we see something that looks a little suspect, we'll contact you by email and get you to double check. 

    Basic Info
    Neck Circumference (1/16)

    Place the tape around the neck and around the middle of Adam's apple. Leave a forefinger’s worth of space within the tape.

    Shoulder Width (2/16)

    Put tape along the shoulder arc, measure the shoulder arc from the left shoulder point to the right shoulder point. The "shoulder point" is the place where shoulder seam and armhole seam meet on a well-fitting shirt. Remember, the shoulder arc is not a straight line.

    Sleeve Length (3/16)

    Place the tape on the shoulder point (where the shoulder seam and armhole seam meet on your well-fitting shirt). Measure from the shoulder point to just before where thumb and forefinger meet. Keep your arms straight and relaxed.

    Bicep circumference (4/16)

    Put the tape under armpit, measure the circumference of the fullest part of your bicep.

    Wrist Circumference (5/16)

    Measure around the wrist. This one is pretty simple. If we’re being honest, what your reading right now is just filler. Go get that measurement!

    Bust Circumference (6/16)

    Relax your body and maintain a natural stance. Measure around the fullest part of your chest. Make sure your arms are down and ensure that you can feel the tape around your entire body.

    Jacket Waist (7/16)

    Relax your body and maintain a natural stance. Measure at the bottom of the ribcage, or, if you’re carrying a little bit of love around the middle, measure at just before your belly starts. Make sure your arms are down and ensure that you can feel the tape around your entire body.

    Belly Circumference (8/16)

    Relax your body and maintain a natural stance. Measure across the widest part of your belly. This is usually around the belly button. Make sure your arms are down and ensure that you can feel the tape around your entire body.

    Jacket length (9/16)

    Measure straight down from the base of the neck (the point where the shoulder and neck meet) and run the tape straight down until it’s in line with just before where the thumb and forefinger meet.

    Waist Circumference (10/16)

    Relax your body and maintain a natural stance. Measure around where you usually wear your belt, measure around the thinnest part of your waist. Ensure that you are not wearing a belt when you take this measurement. Ensure that you are not wearing jeans as these are worn lower and are thicker than suit pants.

    Hips Circumference (11/16)

    Measure around the fullest part of your hips and bum. Ensure that you can feel the tape around your entire body.

    Trouser Rise (12/16)

    Place the tape at the top of the waistband in the middle of your pants. Run the tape through your legs and through to the top of the waistband at the back of your pants. Ensure that you can feel the tape the whole way but make sure that it’s not too tight (unless you want your swimmers a hard time).

    Thigh Circumference (13/16)

    Place the tape just under the crotch and measure around the widest part of your thigh.

    Knee Circumference (14/16)

    Measure around the leg about 5 cms above the knee.

    Calf Circumference (15/16)

    Measure around the widest part of the calf.

    Trouser length (16/16)

    Without shoes, measure vertically along the outseam from the top of your pant’s waistband to the floor.

Description

Take the lead.

The Principal balances a contemporary cobalt base with a traditional check with a contrasting red feature. From a distance, the white check provides an almost pinstripe like appearance which gives way to the gorgeous check detail as you get closer. A great choice for the office and business situations that require a deft touch and an elegant, yet assertive look. The perfect addition to your everyday collection and one that will turn heads and grab compliments.

Styling Guide

Shirt

No need to over-complicate this. Because of the texture in the suit, it would be best to stick to a crisp, white shirt. Pale blues and pinks may also work in a business context. Heavy checks and patterns may appear heavy-handed so be aware.

Tie

We feel a bit of texture in your tie will help to set off your wardrobe. Consider something like the Merino or a similar knit tie to set your look off.

Shoes

Surprisingly versatile and will work with both black, brown or burgundy.

OCCASION

The Principal is a business first suit and works best in the office and boardroom. In a pinch, you can dress it up and use it for more flamboyant occasions.

Observation/Notes

If you’re wanting to experiment with some texture in your wardrobe but don’t want to stand out too much, this is a great option.
