How to Measure for Your Suit

Suit Separates for the Perfect Fit!

We’re thrilled to announce that all our Suits are now available as separates! Why is this a game-changer? It means you can purchase each suit piece individually, ensuring a fit that’s tailored just for you. Every body is unique, and now it’s easier than ever to find your ideal size from head to toe with Paul Fredrick.


How to Find Your Perfect Size:


Suit Jackets

Chest Measurement: Wrap measuring tape around the fullest part of your chest, keeping it under your arms and parallel to the floor. (Pro tip: Get a friend to help for accuracy!)

Jacket Length by Height:

Short: Up to 5'7"
Regular: 5'8" to 6'
Long: 6' to 6'3"
Extra-Long: 6'3" and taller

For example, if you’re 5'9" with a 40-inch chest, your size is 40 Regular.

Suit Vests


Use your chest measurement from the jacket sizing.
Adjust the fit with the back belt for comfort and style.
For example, a size 40 Regular jacket means you’ll also wear a size 40 vest.

Suit Pants

Waist Measurement: Measure where you normally wear your pants.

Inseam Measurement: Lay pants flat and measure from the crotch seam to the bottom hem.

Measuring For Alterations: We offer in-house alterations for a custom inseam finish (plain hem or 1½-inch cuff).

For example, if your waist measures 42 inches and your inseam is 29 inches, you’ll need size 42 pants with alterations to achieve the perfect fit.

We’re here to help you look and feel your best with suit separates that fit like they’re made for you. Ready to give them a try? Explore our collection today!
