Suit & Sport Jackets


Measuring your jacket
Always button up the jacket to ensure the most accurate measurement when determining the width.
A: Shoulder
Lay the jacket flat, face down. Smooth it out so it's not wrinkled. Using fabric measuring tape, measure straight across from the outer edge of one shoulder seam to the outer edge of the other. Keep the tape straight and level, not curved.
B: Waist
Lay the jacket face up and button it closed. Find the narrowest part of the jacket—usually a few inches below the armpits or at the top button. Measure straight across from side seam to side seam at that point.
C: Back
Lay the jacket flat, face down. Find where the collar meets the body of the jacket (the seam). Measure straight down from the bottom seam of the collar to the bottom edge of the jacket. Do not include the collar itself—only the body length.
Use the number you got to compare with the size chart below.
Shirting


Measuring your shirt
Modern Ambition offers two fits, slim and standard. Both have the same classic lines through the neck and shoulders.
Slim fit: has sewn in darts that give a more streamlined fit through the chest and waist.
Standard fit: does not have darts, to provide a more relaxed fit through the chest and waist.
A: Neck
Lay the shirt open and flat on a surface and flatten the collar. Using a soft measuring tape, measure from the center of the button to the far end of the buttonhole. This is your neck size.
B: Shoulder
Lay the shirt face down, flat and smooth. Find the points where the shoulder seams meet the sleeve seams. Measure straight across from one point to the other. This is your shoulder width.
C: Chest
Button the shirt completely and lay it flat, face up. Measure from one armpit seam straight across to the other armpit seam. This is your chest size.
D: Natural Waist
Keep the shirt buttoned and flat. Locate where the sleeve and armpit meet, and measure about 20cm down from that seam, and measure the width of the shirt. This is your natural waist.
Use the number you got to compare with the size chart below.

Trousers


Measuring your trousers
Our suit trousers have a 36" inseam length and are intended to be hemmed by a tailor to your specifications. Chinos and 5-pocket pants have a 34" inseam length and may also require alteration.
Stand up straight, relaxed.
Determine where your pants normally sit; for dress pants, it’s usually just above your hips and below your belly button.
A: Waist
Wrap a soft measuring tape around your waist at that spot. Keep the tape snug but not digging into your torso; you should be able to slip two fingers inside. The number (in inches or centimetres) where the tape meets is your waist size.
B: Inseam
Put on a pair of pants that fit you well in length. Start measuring from the crotch seam (where the four seams meet) straight down the inside of your leg. Measure to the point where you want the pants to end — usually just at the top of your shoe’s heel for dress pants. That number is your inseam length.
Use the number you got to compare with the size chart below.
US/CAN | EU | Waist (Body & Garment) | Inseam |
---|---|---|---|
30 | 46 | 31.5" | 80cm | 34" | 86.4cm |
32 | 48 | 33.5" | 85.1cm | 34" | 86.4cm |

40 | 56 | 41.5" | 105.4cm | 34" | 86.4cm |
42 | 58 | 43.5" | 110.5cm | 34" | 86.4cm |
44 | 60 | 45.5" | 115.6cm | 34" | 86.4cm |
Casual & Knit Tops


Measuring your Sweater or Casual Shirt
We recommend using a soft measuring tape, a mirror and having someone assist you.
Stand up straight and relaxed with your arms at your sides, using normal posture.
A: Simply Measure Your Chest
- Wrap the tape measure around the fullest part of your chest, usually just under your armpits and across your shoulder blades. Make sure the tape goes straight across your back and is level (not slipping down).
- The tape should be snug but not tight. You should be able to slip a finger under it. Breathe normally. Take the measurement while exhaling gently (not holding your breath).
- Look at the measurement in inches or centimeters where the tape meets. Round to the nearest half inch (or centimeter).
Use the number you got to compare with the size chart below.
Size | Chest (in.) | Chest (cm) |
---|---|---|
S | 37 - 38 | 94 - 96.5 |
M | 39 - 40 | 99 - 101.5 |
L | 41 - 42 | 104 - 106.5 |
XL | 43 - 45 | 109 - 114.5 |
XXL | 46 - 48 | 117 - 122 |
Casual Shorts & Pants


Measuring your Waist and Inseam
We recommend using a soft measuring tape, a mirror and having a pair of pants that already fit you well.
Stand up straight and relaxed (don't suck in your stomach). For casual pants, the waistband usually sits a little lower than your natural waist, closer to your hips.
A: Measure Your Waist
Wrap a soft measuring tape around your waist at that spot that sits comfortably for you. Place the tape measure around the spot where the waistband of the pants would sit (often just below the navel or around the top of the hip bones). Keep the tape snug but not tight.
The number (in inches or centimetres) where the tape meets is your waist size. Round to the nearest half-inch (or cm).
B: Measure Your Inseam
Put on a pair of pants that fit you well in length. Start measuring from the crotch seam (where the four seams meet) straight down the inside of your leg.
Measure to the point where you want the pants to end (usually just at the top of your shoe’s heel). That number is your inseam length.
Use the number you got to compare with the size chart below.
Tip: Sweatpants and casual pants usually have more stretch and flexibility. If you fall between sizes, it’s usually safe to pick the smaller size because the elastic waistband and drawstring give you extra room.
Size | Waist (in) | Waist (cm) | Hip (in) | Hip (cm) |
---|---|---|---|---|
S | 30 - 31 | 76 - 78.5 | 36.5 - 37.5 | 92.5 - 95.5 |
M | 32 - 33 | 81.5 - 84 | 38.5 - 39.5 | 98 - 100.5 |
L | 34 - 35 | 86.5 - 89 | 40.5 - 41.5 | 103 - 105.5 |
XL | 36 - 38 | 91.5 - 96.5 | 42.5 - 44.5 | 108 - 113 |
XXL | 39 - 41 | 99 - 104 | 45.5 - 47.5 | 115.5 - 120.5 |
