I'm sure this must have been covered before but I can't seem to find anything. What is the correct way to measure a suit jacket?
Sleeve - shoulder seam to the end of the sleeve?
Shoulders - is it straight across the back between the two shoulder seams?
Back - just below the collar to the bottom of the jacket?
Chest - seam just under the sleeve, across the chest to the other seam?
Also, how much tailoring can be done on a jacket that is too large? I believe I've seen recommendations that you get the shoulders to fit and everything else can be tweaked?
Thanks.
