How to Measure
- Chest: Measure straight across from edge to edge, starting 1" below the armhole, multiply by 2
- Shoulder: Measure straight across from shoulder seam to shoulder seam. Again, it’s easiest to measure across the back of the garment
- Body Length: Start at the top of the shoulder where it meets the neck seam, and measure straight down to the hem
- Sleeve Length: Start at the center of the back of the neck, measure straight across to the shoulder seam, and then follow the edge of the garment to the cuff. Pro tip: it’s easiest to measure across the back of the sleeve

About Wax London
To establish yourself as a contender in the London apparel industry is no easy task—the standards are absurdly high and creative innovation is a must. So how did Wax London do it? By getting back to the roots of what European garment making is all about: quality. Careful cuts, meticulous sewing, and obsessive details all go into the expert craftsmanship, but Wax London knew that if they wanted their pieces to really last, they had to start from the foundation. The fabrics you’ll see in their collection are either custom-made or built to their exact specifications, allowing you to feel confident that this piece was made with purpose and intent. Pull on any of their pieces and you’ll see why we’re digging what these Londoners are all about.
