Dear Mr. Asraful Islam;
Great for your comment in this article. In case your side is the standard chart size for you cut or make the trousers or jacket. If you trousers was made and the size not match to your trousers, tailors can adjust for a bit change. Thus you should carefully measure your size, but I want to remind again the size chart is the standard.
Thanks – Sean
Excellent and detailed explanation and instruction, i have been to the tailors before to get clothes adjusted. they took measurements but i never understood how they did it or that they had a particular way of doing it. Thank you for shedding some light on the subject, now i know how its done i might even try making my own jackets.

Great informative article, I’ve always struggled with buying items of clothing online. Everyone’s sizes seem to be different and I don’t know if I should go for a medium or a large.
Just wondering, are those chart sizes tailored for an American market, or European market? (the letter sizes) I guess most places indicate the number sizes as well. Though it’s good to be able to quickly glance at a size to know which would work out better.
Dear Johan;
For the size chart, the letter size is the American Letter size?
Thanks for your comments and support

Wow this is an amazing article.
Thank you for taking out your time to write this article, I must confess this article is going to be useful to me, often times I make orders I always encounter one issues or the other basically because I am always unable to get a correct measurement of my wears. With this I have no more fear of getting an oversized trousers. But practically speaking don’t you think I need someone to help take a measurement of me for my trousers, because if I would want to do that on my own I will have to bend to get to my toes which might not be good or what do you think?
