COLLAR: This is the measurement from the button
centre to the buttonhole centre.
SLEEVE LENGTH: See diagram below. It is advisable to
measure one of your existing well fitting shirts to find
your ideal sleeve measurement. Lay your chosen shirt flat, face down, and measure from the top-centre
of the back horizontally to the top of the shoulder (1.),
then from the top of the shoulder to the bottom of the
cuff (2.). Add these two measurements together and
this is your ideal sleeve length.
FRONT BODY LENGTH: Take a mid-point between
the collar and shoulder and measure to the bottom of
the shirt hem.
BODY BACK LENGTH: The measurement from where
the base of the collar meets the centre of the shoulders
to the bottom hem of the shirt.
CHEST: This is the measurement from one underarm
seam to the opposite underarm seam, multiply by 2 to
account for the reverse side.
WAIST: This is the measurement from side seam to
side seam at the tapered part of the shirt that would
coincide with your natural waistline, multiply by 2 to
account for the reverse side. |
