Men's Shirt Size Guide

Five figures give you a shirt that sits clean at the collar and finishes right at the cuff. Use a soft tape over a light layer.

How to measure

  1. A

    Chest

    Around the fullest part of the chest, under the arms, level and snug.

  2. B

    Waist

    Around the natural waistline, just above the navel; keep it slightly loose.

  3. C

    Collar

    Around the base of the neck; slip one finger under the tape for room.

  4. D

    Sleeve Length

    From the shoulder tip down to the wrist, elbow slightly bent.

  5. E

    Shirt Length

    From the top of the shoulder by the neck down to where the shirt should end.

For the truest fit, measure over the kind of layer you'll actually wear, and keep the tape flat.
