Kind of a weird post, but question for drivers. When measuring a suit, would you suggest measuring and then adding to those measurements to get a better fit or by using your exact measurements? I have ordered suits in the past and have had difficulties getting a suit that fits comfortably. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks

Talk to Jerry at Hinchman Indy. I've never had a bad fitting suit from them.

Have a seamstress measure you or stop by a tailor shop (there are still tailor shops left I think?)
They will know how to move you and where EXACTLY to start and stop the tape.
My great uncle was a tailor and measuring for suits and dresses for a correct fit is really a 'learned' skill I am pretty sure.
He never added or subtracted for anything ...... went to the 1/16 of an inch, marking with chalk .... he told me once 'measure twice ...stitch once.'
I think he plagiarized that philosophy from a carpenter. (heh ....heh....)
