Measure your body.

Note: A shirt should be worn for proper measurement.

Neck
1. NECK
Place two fingers between the tape measure and the neck as the pictures show, and make sure you can move the tape easily.
Do not tighten the tape measure. Make sure that the tape is at the base of the neck where the neck and shoulders meet or at the height where the collar would be if you were wearing a shirt.
Chest Waist
2. CHEST
Stand up straight, relax and take deep breath with hands down at your side. The chest measurement should be taken around the chest under the
armpits. Make sure the tape is parallel and you can move the tape easily.
Do not tighten the tape measure. Avoid having thick clothes on when measuring.
3. WAIST
Stand up in a relaxed posture, do not hold your breath or hold your stomach in. If you do not have beer belly, the waist measurement should be taken around the waist at the narrowest point. If you have beer belly, you should measure the widest point. Make sure you can move the tape easily. Do not tighten the tape measure.
Hips Shoulder
4. HIPS
Take out all of the stuff in the front and back pockets your trouser.
The hip measurement should be taken around the hips at the widest
point. Stand up in a relaxed posture, and keep the tape parallel.
Do not tighten the tape measure. Make sure you can move the tape easily.
5. SHOULDER
Stand up in a relaxed posture. Measure across the top of the shoulder
from one edge to the other. Ensure you take the curved contour over
the top of the shoulders as shown. If you are wearing your best fitted shirt measure up to the shoulder seams.
Sleeve Length Short Sleeve Length
6. SLEEVE LENGTH
The sleeve measurement should be taken from exactly the same point
you used earlier for the "Shoulder" measurement. Measure to a point
at the wrist where you want the sleeve to end. Do not bend your arms.
If you want to match your dress shirt with a suit, you should measure the
suit sleeve length you want, and then add one (1) centimeter .That will
be the shirt's sleeve length.
7. SHORT SLEEVE LENGTH
Measure with arm at your side, from the tip of the shoulder to a point on the outside of the arm where you want the sleeve to end.
Wrist / Cuff Bicep
8. WRIST/CUFF
Measure the actual wrist size around your wrist bone. You may also consider adding ¼" to ½" to your size if you wear medium to heavier watches.
9. BICEP
Measure around your upper arm at the widest point.
Shirt Length Armhole
10. SHIRT LENGTH
Stand up in a relaxed posture. Measure from the top of the shoulder at a
point near the neck, along the front of your body, to a point where
you want the shirt to end.
11. ARMHOLE
Place the tape measure under your armpit and around the top of your arm.
To ensure a comfortable fit, take the armhole measurement with one finger inside the tape measure.

Choose your preferred fit:

  • Slim fit: we add 12 cm to the hip, waist and chest measurements you provided, in order to give you room to move about. Sleeves, collar, shirt length, etc are tailored exactly to your measurements.
  • Normal fit: we add 16 cm to the hip, waist and chest measurements you provided, to achieve extra room while maintaining that unmistakable tailored look. In addition, we add 4 cm to your shoulders measurements (which means they are 2 cm longer on each side), and take 2 cm off each sleeve. This way the shirt is less tight.
  • Loose fit: we add 20 cm to the hip, waist and chest measurements you provided. In addition, we add 8 cm to your shoulder measurements (which means they are 4 cm longer on each side), and take 4 cm off each sleeve. This fit is more appropriate for less slim gentlemen.

How to Measure Yourself
CUSTOMER REVIEWS

ROB BARKER, Chicago
I am an attorney and I love wearing French cuff dress shirts. What a surprise to find a web site that can make up so many different styles, and so easy to do. Why pay store prices for basic shirts when for the same price I can make up whatever I want.
