standardsizes

All of our shirts are available in standard sizes. Standard sizes are named according to their neck size. For example, a standard size 40 refers to a neck size of 40cm. Standard sizes have fixed measurements for all other aspects of the shirt (such as the shoulders and waist) which correspond to the original neck size chosen.

When choosing a standard size, your shirt’s individual measurement figures will not only be dictated by the neck size chosen, but also by the shirt’s fit. For example, a size 40 Regular Fit shirt and a size 40 Slim Fit shirt do not have the same individual measurement figures.

Therefore, if you choose a standard size, expect your finished shirt to have one of the sets of measurements below, based on the standard size and the shirt fit that you have chosen during the ordering process.

All shirts (including standard sizes) are crafted from scratch, completed within two weeks and include customisation at no extra charge. Therefore, you may want to consider creating a shirt with your own unique measurements. To learn how to do this see How to Take Measurements on the Body.

Alternatively, if you have a shirt that already fits well and you want to reproduce those measurements see How to Take Measurements From Another Shirt.

The Regular Fit

The Regular Fit is a typical Italian-style shirt fit. This type of shirt is quite close-fitting yet comfortable.

  • The back of the shirt is smooth/plain
  • Fits most people well
