Guide to a Perfect Men’s Shirt Fit

We value quality and perfection. We know that every man is different. Your size, posture, figure, and the
shape of your body all change the way a shirt fits. This is why we have prepared a comprehensive guide to
help you take the perfect measurements for your bespoke dress shirts.

We know that taking measurements can be a chore, so we have worked hard to make it as easy and quickly
as possible for you.

What you will need:

• A fabric measuring tape (fabric only).
• Assistance from a friend
• A well fitting shirt, pair of trousers (not jeans), and a pair of shoes.

When taking measurements:

• Keep the measuring tape comfortably snug, but not tight.
• All measurements should be made to nearest inch / centimeter.

The following sections provide instructions on how you can create your own perfect bespoke shirt. These four
(4) measurement methods are completely different from each other but should yield the same result. The
steps within each of these methods are not to be interchanged:

• SHIRT MEASUREMENT METHOD. Measure your best fitting shirt. ”RECOMMENDED”

o Measure the shirt the fits you well and enter the shirt measurements through the control panel.

• BODY MEASUREMENT METHOD. Measure your body.

o Ask someone to take your own measurements then create your body measurements profile
online. Many customers get this wrong the first time, so if you do not have experience doing
this, please use “Shirt Measurements Method”.

• SELECT FROM OUR STANDARD-SIZED SHIRTS.

o Refer to our measurement table to select standard-sized shirt.

• SEND US YOUR BEST-FITTING SHIRT.

room to move about. Sleeves, collar, shirt length, etc are tailored exactly to your measurements.
