Great tailoring begins long before the suit goes on. It begins with understanding your measurements.
We created a new tool called The Dicky Bow Measurement Tool to make that process easier, more approachable, and more useful for the everyday gentleman. Whether you’re preparing to shop for a suit, jacket, trousers, shirt, or simply want a better understanding of how your clothing should fit, knowing your measurements gives you a much stronger place to start.
At The Dicky Bow, we’ve always believed that good style isn’t about chasing trends. It’s about understanding clothing, understanding fit, and ultimately understanding what works for you. Our Measurement Tool brings that philosophy into a simple digital experience designed to help you become a more informed menswear customer.

Your Measurements. Your Tailors. Your Personal Fit Library.
Anyone who has worked with more than one tailor or made-to-measure company knows an important truth: one set of measurements doesn’t necessarily tell the whole story. Different tailoring houses, retailers, and made-to-measure programs may maintain their own measurements and fitting preferences for you. Keeping track of all that information can quickly become complicated.
The Dicky Bow Measurement Tool gives you one place to organize it.
Keep Your Tailoring Measurements Organized
Save measurements from the different tailors, retailers, and made-to-measure suit providers you work with. You can add new tailors and clothing companies to the app and maintain a separate set of measurements based on the particular suiting or tailoring program you belong to.
Instead of treating your measurements as one universal set of numbers, the tool allows you to differentiate them according to the tailoring house, retailer, clothing company, or program you’re working with.
Over time, you can build your own personal database of the companies that make your clothing and the measurements associated with each one.
Inches or Centimeters
Work with measurements in the format you’re comfortable using. The Dicky Bow Measurement Tool allows you to save your measurements in inches or centimeters, making it easier to maintain information from different tailors and clothing companies using either measurement system.
Your Measurements Can Travel With You
Starting a relationship with a new tailor? Trying a different made-to-measure company?
Your measurement information doesn’t have to remain with the company that originally recorded it.
Export your measurements and send them to a new tailor, bespoke tailoring house, retailer, or made-to-measure clothing company.
That makes your personal measurement history something you can maintain and take with you as your wardrobe and tailoring relationships evolve.
Build Your Personal Tailoring Database
Think of the Dicky Bow Measurement Tool as more than somewhere to record your chest, waist, or sleeve measurements. It’s a way to create a personal library of your tailoring relationships and measurement profiles.
You might have:
- One measurement profile for your favorite local tailor
- Another for a made-to-measure suit company
- Another for a particular retailer’s suiting program
- Another for a bespoke tailoring house
- And additional profiles as you discover new makers
The important thing is that you maintain the information and can distinguish one company’s measurements from another’s.
Know Your Measurements. Know Your Maker. Understand Your Fit.
The Dicky Bow has always been about helping gentlemen better understand their clothing. The Dicky Bow Measurement Tool takes that philosophy one step further by giving you a practical way to organize the measurements behind your wardrobe.
Save them. Organize them. Export them. Take them with you.
Because understanding fit isn’t just about knowing your measurements.It’s also about knowing who measured you, who made your clothes, and how those measurements relate to the garments you wear.
Please enjoy the app and we hope that it is a valuable tool for use among men and women in their quest to look good.
Sincerely, Erik
