Getting FITTED is easier than you think
At FITTED Underground, we know that custom and bespoke jeans are only as good as the measurements we use to make them. That's why we offer three ways to capture your measurements, so whether you're in NYC or further afield, we have a solution for you.
Here are the three ways to get fitted, in our preferred order.
1. Book a fitting in person or online
Best experience. Highly recommended.
Stop by workshop at 108 Bayard St. in Williamsburg. Eric, or a member of our team, will take your measurements - and take the time to answer every question you have.
Have a pair of jeans that fit your great? Bring them with you to cross check your measurements.
Appointments are free and take about 30 minutes. Our goal is to educate you about fit, fabric and finish, and have an awesome time doing it.
2. Mail-in service
Live outside NYC but have jeans that fit?
Drop them in the mail and we'll measure them for you. We'll even send you a shipping label after purchase for our domestic clients.
Need to review the fit together before sending them our way? Schedule a fitting at the link above and select "phone call". Consultations, which are optional, normally take no more than 15 minutes.
3. Measure your best fitting jeans / shirt yourself (see below)
Ready to DIY your measurements?
If you'd like to take measurements yourself, it's a simple process. Just grab a measuring tape, tape measure or long ruler, and follow the guide below. Keep in mind:
- Take all measurements on a hard, flat surface (table yes; bed no)
- Less stretch produces truer measurements; 100% cotton is best
- Use multiple pairs to "bookend" measurements
