How to choose your shirt size
Neck, chest and sleeve: three measurements and five minutes, and your shirt will always fit.
The most common mistake when buying a shirt is picking only "M or L". A good fit actually depends on three measurements: neck, chest and sleeve length. Take them once and buying online becomes easy.
1. Neck
Run a soft tape around the base of your neck, just below the Adam's apple. You should be able to slide one finger under the tape. 39–40 cm is an M; 41–42 cm is an L. If you wear a tie, make sure the buttoned collar doesn't squeeze.
2. Chest
Take the tape horizontally under your arms around the fullest part of your chest. Don't hold your breath; measure relaxed. For a slim fit, match the chart exactly; for a regular fit, 2–4 cm of ease is normal.
3. Sleeve
Bend your arm slightly and measure from the shoulder seam to the wrist bone. A sleeve of the right length shows 1–1.5 cm below a jacket cuff. If you have long arms, size up or ask about Long fits.
Three signs of a good fit
- The shoulder seam sits right at the edge of your shoulder.
- No gaps open between the buttons across your chest.
- The shirt stays tucked in when you raise your arms.
