How To Measure Men's Dress Shirt And Casual Shirt Measurements

Chest

Measure at the highest point, just under the armpits and across the pecs. The tape should not be soo tight that the skin pinches, but equally not too loose that it doesn’t stay in place.

Waist

Measure exactly where you would want the waistband of the trousers to sit (i.e., at the same position and with a comfortable level of tightness).

Bicep

Measure at the widest point of the bicep (unflexed). The tape should not be soo tight that the skin pinches, but equally not too loose that it doesn’t stay in place.

Our sizing is different to the usual standards. We embarked on a 12 month journey of designing and rigorous testing to create the TAPERED shirt. From slim and lean to competitive bodybuilders to builds with thicker waists, our luxurious stretch fabric caters to everyone. A new era in muscle fit shirts. 

How Do I Know My Shirt Size?

For the most accurate fit we recommend using our size calculator. Our size charts are used as a reference guide. 

How Does Dress Shirt Sizing Work?

Typically dress shirt sizing is determined by two main measurements: neck size and sleeve length. The neck size is measured around the base of the neck, while the sleeve length is measured from the middle of the back of the neck, over the shoulder, down to the wrist. But our sizing is different to the standards, therefore we recommend by using our size calculator or checking your chest and waist size using our size charts.

Should I Buy a Shirt One Size Bigger?

We understand that finding the right fit online is challenging, although we try to make it as easy as possible we do recommend buying multiple sizes. We offer free UK returns if one size isn't suitable.
