Measure twice. Cut once.

Three ways to measure

At FITTED Underground, we know that your custom 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.

  1. Book a fitting in person or online
  2. Mail us your best fitting jeans / shirt and we'll take measurements for you
  3. Measure your best fitting jeans / shirt yourself (see below)

To measure yourself

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
  • Pro tip: Use multiple pairs to "bookend" measurements
