Do you have guests or groomsmen who are located outside of Brisbane, Queensland, or even Australia? Are you worried about how to dress them up when they may arrive just days before your wedding?
No need to worry. At Black Jacket Suiting, we handle this situation regularly for our clients and guarantee a flawless fit every time. With our extensive range of hire, purchase, and custom suiting options, combined with our detailed “at-home” measurement guide, we consistently provide stylish and well-fitting suits for clients who are unable to visit our store for fittings
At Black Jacket Suiting we pride ourselves on providing an exceptional experience/service at an affordable price point. When it comes to your wedding our team provide you with exceptional attention to detail and ensure you receive bespoke advice tailored to your unique needs.
The era of one-size-fits-all suiting is over. With the vast range of cuts and styles available to us, achieving a precise fit demands more than standard measurements. In response, we developed a refined and unique fitting methodology that focuses on the body’s most critical measurement points. This comprehensive approach allows us to assess proportion and movement ensuring a suit that is balanced, precise, and distinctly yours.
01
Measure around your neck at its widest point. This should be at the height where your buttoned shirt collar would sit.
Leave room for one finger between the neck and the tape.

02
Relax and do not puff out your chest. Measure around the widest part of your chest. The tape should go right under the armpits before dropping the arms.
Ensure the tape also goes around the widest part of the back and does not slip down. The tape should be level all the way around and usually crosses just above the nipples.
Leave room for one finger between the chest and the tape; the tape should not restrict normal breathing.
