Frequently asked questions

How do I measure for a dress shirt?

Neck at the collar line plus a finger's width, and sleeve from the centre of the back of the neck over the shoulder to the wrist bone.

Should I size up for slim fit?

Yes if you're between sizes or have a broad chest — slim cuts run about one inch tighter through the body.
