Taking measurements from a well-fitting shirt is a very straightforward method of submitting measurements to us, as we will follow them exactly without having to make any adjustments as we would with body measurements.
You can measure the shirt up by yourself. Please ensure you read the measurement instructions thoroughly and follow them as closely as you can. Ensure you double check your measurements before submitting an order.
The table below explains what we do with the shirt measurements you provide us:
For first time customers who order multiple shirts upfront, we may elect to make and send one shirt first, so ensure you are happy with the sizing.
An extra fabric surcharge will be applied to shirts with Chest/Waist/Hips of following size and above:
Inch: 29
Cm: 73

BODY MEASUREMENTS
It is advised to get a friend to assist you with taking measurements. It important you follow the instructions very carefully and double check your measurements before submitting your order.
Based on your selection of Slim Fit, Standard Fit or Loose Fit, we will make allowances your measurements using sophisticated sizing technology to ensure a perfect fit.
Room will be added to the Chest, Waist and Hips measurement to allow room to move in the body of the shirt. Room will also be added to armhole, bicep and wrist to allow movement. All other measurements will be followed exactly.

STANDARD SIZES
If you are really in a hurry, and most off the rack shirts fit you fine, you can opt for a standard size. If you can spare 10 minutes, we do encourage customers to measure up, however if you really aren’t fussy, standard sizes are available.
As a wearer of shirts, you would understand that there is no universal size in men’s shirts, as some brands have a slimmer fit than others. We have based our standard size on some well known off-the-rack brands. To ensure you know what you are getting you can check our Standard Size Measurement Table:
Standard size shirts are not covered by our perfect fit guarantee. It is up to you to check out sizing tables and determine if the shirt is the right fit for you.
Shirt Sleeve Length
(Difference Between Standard Size & Made-To-Measure)
Universal standard sizes measure sleeve length from the middle of the back. For made-to-measure (tailor made) we measure the sleeve length from the corner point where the sleeve meets the shoulder.
Shoulder Type
We use this information to determine if an allowance is needed for sloping shoulders. If you are not sure which one you are, it does not matter.
Standard Size Collar
The collar size is the distance between the center of the button to edge of the buttonhole (per diagram below). However some brands do not adhere to this, and will make the collar larger or smaller than what is actually marked on the shirt. So we cannot assume that the size marked on the shirt is accurate and we measure the collar to make sure it is correct.
Stomach Vs Waist
We formally referred to this measurement as the Waist measurement. However many customers confused this with their pants waist size which is very different. The measurement refers to the circumference around the stomach line. Therefore we now refer to this measurement as the Stomach measurement.
