    Do you have a measuring tape?

    the prob is that i am buy the suit from ebay....its a vintage suit...so i dont want to go into some place and ask them to measure me and then not by a suit...seems like a waste of their time...but maybe some place offers a free service?

    If ya don't mind going a bit further afield how about eddie murphy in ballyhaunis? His a bit of an old style tailor, nice man too. I'm sure he wouldn't mind doing it for you just promise him you'll come back again and that you'll tell all your friends how good he is. You'll prob want to go back anyway great service.

    Buying a suit online is a bad idea ,especially if you want it to look good, the fit is so important even with your exact measurements it may still not fit right.I suppose you could always get it altered.
