The difference between breeks and plus 2’s, 3’s and 4’s is in the amount of over hanging cloth from the knee band. Breeks are a slimmer cut and generally run directly into the knee band. Plus 2’s have 2” of fold/over hang and thus 4” of extra cloth, plus 3’s have 3” of fold and thus 6” of extra cloth and so on. How to measure. Option one: Copying an existing pair. Lay them out flat on a table or whilst being worn, undo the fasteners and let them hang down. Measure the outside and inside leg to the top of the knee band. Supply the required net/finished measure. Knee bands vary in depth. Lambton tailoring knee bands are 11/2” deep. Option two: Calculating from an existing pair of trousers. Take the outside and inside leg measure and divide by two. Add two inches and then add a further 2 times X” depending on what style you want. Where X = the name/number of the garment. IE Breeks = 0” Plus 2’s = 4” Plus 3’s = 6” Plus 4’s = 8” Measure the customer’s waist and seat as normal. Measure the below knee/above calf circumference and enter in the ‘bottoms’ box. Tips: Establish whether the customer is going to wear his socks underneath or on top of the knee band and allow in the measure. The width at the knee increases as the length of the breeks grows through plus 2’s, 3’s, 4’s etc. If customer is to be very active in this garment (climbing over styles etc) then a longer option should be advised to prevent the garment pulling up away from the socks. © Lambton Tailoring Breeks, plus 2’s, 3’s 4’s etc Plus 2’s Plus 3’s Plus 4’s Velcro fastener Buckle & strap fastener © Lambton Tailoring Overcoats Covert Coat Single breasted button 4 with fly front and slanted pockets plus out ticket pocket (velvet top collar optional) (C/CSB4/FF) Overcoat Double breasted 2 show 3 (O/CDB2x3) © Lambton Tailoring Overcoats Raglan Sleeve Overcoat button 4 with slanted welt pockets and fly front (O/C Raglan4/FF) Overcoat Single breasted button 4 with slanted pockets (O/CSB4) © Lambton Tailoring Jacket Terminology Collar Stand Gorge Seam Top Collar Shoulder End Lapel Notch Collar Step Front Scye Lapel Step Out Breast Welt Crease Edge (or Row) Chest Darts Outside Ticket Pocket Pockets Out Forepart Edge (Leaf Edge) Forepart Skirt Shoulder Seam Sleeve Crown Lapel Scye Side Body Seam Hindarm Seam Forearm Seam Cuff Side Body Seam Neck Point Collar Fall Side Seam Back Sleeve Pitch Back Scye Back Panel Waist Centre Back Seam Seat Side Seam Back Skirt © Lambton Tailoring Measurements Full Length With the jacket on the customer measure from the bottom of the melton (cloth under the collar) down along the centre back seam to the desired length of the jacket (or coat). The figure you give will be what you get including figurations. Lambton work to 1/2” sensitivity in this measurement. Tips: A good fitting, well-balanced jacket should be level around the bottom/hem with the floor. A jacket should reach the top of the leg, below the seat. The length of a jacket is usually within 1” of the inside leg measurement. Beware short or corpulent customers are often used to long jackets to the point where the correct length (top of the leg) may feel short to them. Nape to waist/natural waist This is an optional measurement for suits but mandatory for overcoats, morning coats and evening tail coats. As for the full length above, measure from the bottom of the melton (cloth under the collar) down along the centre back to the point where the waist is narrowest. This is usually about l” to 2” above the trouser waist/belt or located directly behind the naval. © Lambton Tailoring Measurements Half Back Measure from the centre back seam approximately 4” to 5” down from the collar across to the side seam close to where the sleeve seam joins the side body. Lambton work to 1/8” sensitivity in this measurement. Tips: The half back measure dictates the shoulder width. Too tight on the shoulders is far worse than too wide. All men’s jackets require a little drape (loose cloth) around the back scye/hind arm to allow forward arm movement. Linen, cotton & velvet have less natural stretch and are prone to shrinkage so Lambton recommend you give a little extra, compared to wool. © Lambton Tailoring Measurements Shoulder Point to Shoulder Point. Measure from the point at which the shoulder seam meets the shoulder end at the sleeve seam (T junction) at one side and run the tape horizontally across the back, below the collar, to the same point on the other side. Lambton work to 1/4" sensitivity in this measurement. Tips This measurement will over-ride the half back measurement and thus the fit in the drape/shoulder blade area will be dictated by this measurement.
