How to Measure for Your Dress Shirt
You may have noticed that we’re not like those other stores. Not just because we operate solely online, no brick and mortar, which means you don’t have to pay the high prices of a store-front. And no, not just because we sell exclusively to our customers, never wholesale, so you can’t find these one-of-a-kind styles anywhere else. What sets us apart - well, in addition to those aspects - is our emphasis on a perfect fit. In dress shirts, our specialty, that means exact sizing. However, since standardized sizing is the norm in most big retail environments, you might not be familiar with how exact sizing works. Here’s how to measure yourself to find the specifications you’ll need for that perfectly fitted dress shirt.
You’ll need three measurements: your collar size, your sleeve length, and your chest measurement.

Sleeve Length:
Chest Measurement:
Still confused? Here's a quick video to demonstrate these instructions.
You'll really only need to know your collar size and sleeve length to purchase a dress shirt; still, it’s always smart to check our chart to see if the collar size of your choice will also fit your chest. Otherwise, you may find that the collar and sleeves are perfect, but the chest is too tight! If your chest size is larger than the Fit Body Chest measurement for that collar size, you may wish to go up a collar size, which will accordingly correspond to a larger chest size.
