    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

The classic Charcoal suit. If it’s not your first, it should be your second.

Alexander is wearing the Charcoal with a custom lining which is an additional cost. Add this to yours in the Fitting and Customisations section.
There’s a saying. “A man only needs at least three good suits. One in charcoal, one in black and one in navy”. There is some very sound logic to this saying and as such, if you’re just starting your menswear journey, charcoal represents a fantastic formal choice that should be very high up on your to do list.

Charcoal is a great mid colour that comes off a little more serious than its navy counterpart. This austerity lends its itself slightly more towards formal events and is considered the modern uniform for the business professional as it helps to instill an air of competence and trust. A great choice for lawyers and other professions that require a more serious tone.

Styling Guide

Shirt

One of the easiest suits to pair and will most likely work with most things that you throw at it. The classic look consists of a crisp, white shirt however, as there is no colour bias, feel free to play around and find what works for you.

Tie

As the suit is so passive in tone, your choice of tie should match your shirt. Work with complimenting, or contrasting colour tones and if you’re playing with patterns, try to differ the size of the patterns between your shirt and tie to ensure you don’t look washed out. We personally love a pop of navy in the tie to really set off your ensemble.

Shoes

The recommendation is a traditional black show to maintain the austerity of the colour however, in certain circumstances you can use a very dark brown to soften the tone of the outfit. Be wary with lighter browns which may look out of place on this outfit.

OCCASION

This suit will work in almost any occasion that a suit would be required. Be warned however that as a standard suit colour, you may find yourself getting a bit lost in the crowd (that may not be a bad thing in some instances). If you’re wanting to come off a little “softer”, consider our Navy option which matches the charcoal in versatility, but may not be a better choice if you don’t want to come off as serious.
