How do I measure a pair of chinos (bespoke)?

If you use the "Bespoke" section when it comes to measuring chinos (meaning you don't use try-ons), here is how you should proceed:

• Select the cut your customer desires. Basically, the cut accounts for the allowance given to the thighs and the seat of the chinos.
• In order to respect your customers' proportions, we suggest that you always keep in mind the overall look of the garments you create when inputting measurements.

As a matter of fact, you can measure a pair of chinos in much the same way as you do for regular trousers, except for a few distinctions:

• Given the fact that cotton doesn't quite drape like wool does, you'll often need to lengthen a chino's outseam by about 0.5", if you're looking to achieve the same result as with a pair of wool trousers.
• Cotton fabrics often retain a mark of where previous seams used to be; for that reason, we recommend you take measurements by keeping in mind that it's much preferable to have to take in rather than let out when it comes to altering a pair of chinos. In other words, when in doubt, go a little larger or longer.

NB: Please note that all the measurement sections that are grey (not black) are NOT mandatory.
