When it comes to accurately measuring casual shirts for men, you’ll need to measure your neck, sleeves, chest and waist. If you are going to take these measurements yourself, you’ll need a soft measuring tape … and a bit of perseverance! Here are the basic guidelines:
Neck: Wrap the measuring tape around your throat and slide a finger or two between the tape and your neck. This allows some comfort space for breathing when the collar is buttoned up.
Sleeves: This step might require a helper to place the tape at the base of the centre of the back of your neck. Then run the tape over the top of your shoulder and down your arm to the point where the cuff of your sleeve would normally sit.
Chest: This measurement is taken around the fullest part of the back and chest, usually at nipple height.
Waist: This might be a little different to your waist measurement for pants. Measure around the fullest part of your belly, which is usually near the belly button.
Even with the best of intentions, taking accurate body measurements might be an uphill battle without a helping hand. At Godwin Charli, our custom fitting removes all of this guesswork and makes it easy for you to have a superbly-fitted casual shirt with our four-step made-to-measure process:
