Neck
Measure around your neck just below your Adams apple. Place two fingers between your neck and the tape to represent the space you require for your collar. We will construct your collar to this exact measurement.
Chest
Measure around the chest at its widest point. The tape should be tucked high under your armpits and sit approximately at nipple level.
Stomach
Measure around your stomach with the tape sitting just above your hip bones. If you have a belly, measure it at the widest point, and do not suck it in. Note that you should not enter your pants waist size here - this is unrelated to the measurement.
Hips
Measure around the hip and buttocks at the widest point.
Shirt Length
The length measurement should be taken from the top of the shoulder at the point near the neck, along the front of your body, to a point where you want the shirt to end. Stand up in a relaxed posture. This measurement is normally about 10cm longer than your arm length.

Arm Length
You can cross-check this measurement by first measuring the sleeve of a well-fitting shirt if you have one. The sleeve measurement from a shirt or from the body should be the same. We measure from the corner point, where the shoulder meets the sleeve, down to just below the wrist. It is very important that you use this same corner point for both your Arm and Shoulders measurement as the two are closely related. It is better to make this measurement a bit longer rather than a bit too short.

Arm Length (Short)
If you have chosen a short sleeve, measure from the top shoulder point down to the end of the sleeve.
Shoulders
The shoulders measurement is taken across the shoulders from one tip of one shoulder to the other. Be sure to measure right on the corner point, where the arm meets the shoulder. It is very important that you use this same corner point for both our Arm and Shoulders measurements as the two are closely related.

Bicep
The biceps measurement should be taken around your upper arm at the widest point. Do not tighten the tape measure.
Wrist
Place the tape measure around your wrist at the narrowest point.
Short Cuff
Measure across the cuff at the end of the short sleeve, as shown in the photo. We will make the finished shirt to this size.
