How to take measurements for your personalized shirt online
The essence of a tailor-made shirt is its ability to fit your body perfectly, enhancing its strengths and following your movements. With Brocchieri, taking the right measurements is a simple and stress-free process.
The test shirt: ensuring the perfect fit
If this is your first time ordering a tailor-made shirt, it’s normal to have doubts. But with Brocchieri Camicie, you can rest assured: we have developed a system that guarantees perfect results even for those with no experience in the world of tailoring.
For your first order, we create the “test shirt”: a semi-basted shirt made with raw fabric, based on your preliminary measurements. This step, typical of true Neapolitan tailoring tradition, costs only €15 (while it is included for orders of more than 3 shirts) and represents a crucial investment for:
Check the overall fit
Identify any areas to adjust
Adapt the pattern to the unique features of your physique
Ensure that the final shirt is absolutely perfect
Once you receive the test shirt, simply wear it and send us three photos (front, side, back). Our expert tailors will analyze every detail and make any necessary adjustments before crafting your final shirt.
Three simple ways to take measurements
You can choose your preferred method to provide us with the initial measurements.
1. Take measurements from your body
With the help of our video tutorial, you can easily measure the key points of your body. All you need is a tailor’s measuring tape and a few minutes of your time.
2. Take measurements from an existing shirt
Do you already have a shirt that fits you perfectly? Great! By following our guide, you can take measurements directly from it. This is a practical and quick method, ideal for replicating a fit you already love.
Once your first shirt is created, we save your measurements
Once your first shirt is made, we carefully store your measurements in our archive. This means that for future orders, you won’t have to worry about anything: you can focus solely on choosing the fabric and customizations.
Of course, if your physique changes over time (weight gain or loss, changes in posture, etc.), we will be happy to update your measurements.
The difference is in the details: the exact sleeve length, the precise collar circumference, the width and inclination of the shoulders calibrated to your physique. This precision ensures you feel comfortable in every situation, with a shirt that moves with you, not against you.
