Here are some top tips for ensuring that your shirts fit perfectly every time:

  • Collar – the collar should be comfortable enough that you can slide two fingers inside it when it is fully buttoned up.
  • Shoulders – the seam of the shirt at the shoulder should join at your shoulder bone.
  • Arms – the armholes should be located that you can fully raise and lower your arm without any restriction and without too much movement from your shirt. You should be able to move naturally.

  • Middle – your short should not fit closely to the skin and you should have around 1.5-2 inches of fabric available at either side.
  • Sleeves – your sleeves should end at the crease of your wrist. This is the point at which your hand and wrist join. For short sleeves your sleeves should end inline with your pectoral muscles.
