Size guide: how to measure for a Turkish suit
Our suits use EU jacket sizing, the standard for suits made in Turkey. Find your chest measurement in the chart, then read across. Turkish slim cuts run trim, so if you sit between two sizes, take the larger one and we adjust the rest.
A full-length photo in a fitted shirt helps too. We reply with a size within a day.

Body measurements, not garment measurements. Trousers are cut with a 6 cm drop from the jacket size (a size 50 jacket comes with an 86 cm waist). Jacket and trousers are sold as a set; we can swap trouser sizes on request before dispatch.
How to measure
- 01
Chest
Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest, under the arms, over a shirt. Keep it level and snug, not tight.
- 02
Waist
Measure around your natural waist, roughly at the navel, where the trouser waistband will sit.
- 03
Height
Stand straight without shoes. Regular length fits 170–185 cm. Taller or shorter, tell us and we advise on alterations.
- 04
Sleeve and inseam
Optional but useful. Sleeve: shoulder seam to wrist bone. Inseam: crotch to floor without shoes.
Fit notes
- Jacket: shoulders should end where yours do. Everything else can be tailored; shoulders cannot.
- Waistcoat: should cover the trouser waistband with no shirt showing when you stand.
- Trousers: a slight break at the shoe. Hemming is a quick job at any local tailor.
- Order early for weddings. Allow a week for delivery plus a few days for alterations.
