Measurements Explained
Made to order
How does it work?
Every item is made to order to your exact measurements and preferred fit. Before we can start to make your order we need you to send us your measurements and a couple of photos. You only need to do this once and we’ll keep them safely on file to ensure that every item you order from us in the future is made just for you.

Your perfect fit
Perfecting the measurements
Taking your measurements
Don’t worry, measuring yourself is really straight forward and we’ve created a set of video guides to walk you through it. We’ll check your numbers and pass them to our factory where your cloth will be cut with laser precision. After you've ordered, we'll guide you through the measurements process.
Before you start
You'll need a tape measure and you might find it useful to ask someone else to help or take notes.

Take your measurements
Follow our simple video guides, and then submit your measurements after checkout.
If you need a bit of extra help after you've purchased your suit, you can visit us in our London offices. After purchase, you’ll receive an email link to book in for an appointment.
Made to measure
We’ll save your measurements for every order and you can amend them within your account at any time.
Just to be safe we’ll double-check them too and contact you if anything seems wrong.
Get that perfect fit
Taking photos
We understand that everyone’s body shape is different but with a trained eye and the assistance of some clever algorithms, our craftsmen & women can go the extra mile to get you the perfect fit. We don’t need professional snaps and don’t even need to see your face, just email or upload a couple of photos from your smartphone or camera and we’ll use these together with your measurements to make sure your order fits perfectly.
Before your start
You’ll need a smartphone or digital camera and a plain wall to use as a backdrop.
Take your photos
We just need two full-length photos of you: one from the front and one from the side.
Remember to stand up straight, avoid baggy clothing and keep your hands out of your pockets.
Send us your photos
After you've taken your two photos email them across to hello@thedrop.co and we’ll add them to your account.
Gareth found it difficult to find an off-the-rack suit to fit his broad frame - With the help of his 3 photos we got him the perfect fit first time without the need for alterations.
“Quick and easy. Always answer any questions. Top quality suit. Would use again without no worries.”
