Finding a shirt that fits perfectly is crucial to the buying process. A well-fitting shirt not only provides optimal comfort but also enhances your silhouette, ensuring you always look your best. To help you find the perfect formal shirt, we've created this comprehensive Savile Row guide on how to measure your shirt size accurately.
Top Tips for Taking Your Shirt Measurements
When measuring for a formal shirt, it's important to maintain a relaxed posture. Avoid sucking in your stomach or puffing out your chest, as this can lead to inaccurate measurements. For the best results, have someone assist you in taking your measurements.
What You'll Need:
- Measuring tape
- A helper (recommended)
1. Measuring Your Neck
To determine your collar size, measure around the base of your neck where your collar naturally sits. Ensure you can fit two fingers between your neck and the measuring tape for a comfortable fit. If you find this challenging, measure as described and add half an inch.
2. Measuring Your Chest
Stand with your arms relaxed at your sides. Wrap the measuring tape around the widest part of your chest, ensuring it remains level and parallel to the ground for accurate results.
3. Measuring Your Arm/Sleeve Length
With the tape on the top side of your arm, measure from the middle of the back of your neck, over your shoulder, down to where you want your cuff to sit.
Choosing a Savile Row Shirt
When selecting a formal shirt from our collection, base your choice on your collar measurement. For casual styles, refer to our size chart to determine whether you need a small, medium, large, extra-large, or XXXL.
Finding the Right Shirt Sleeve Measurement
Once you've selected your collar size, use our size chart to determine if you need a regular sleeve length or if adjustments are necessary. You can specify your preference on the product page. If further alterations are needed, email contact@globalbikepacking.com, and our expert tailors will be happy to assist.
Final Tips for Finding a Shirt That Fits
- Take your measurements as precisely as possible; avoid rounding up or down.
- Choose the right fit for your body shape. Slim fit shirts offer a closer fit, while classic fit shirts provide more room.
