The following directions will help you find your correct size for dress and formal shirts. For sport shirts, please see the S-M-L equivalence chart. (If you are measuring in centimeters, divide by 2.54 to obtain inches) :

Shirt sizes are equal to your collar size followed by your sleeve length. For example, if you have a 17 1/2" neck, and a 35" sleeve, you should wear a size 17 1/2 35 shirt.

To measure your collar : Place the measuring tape around the fullest part of your neck and keep the tape snug but not tight. For a comfortable fit, place 2 fingers between the tape and your neck. Round up to the next 1/2".

To measure your sleeve length : Stand in a normal relaxed position with arms down at your side. Start the tape at the center back of your neck under the collar. Pass the tape squarely over the top of shoulder then down the arm to the desired length. Most people prefer the cuff to fall 1" to 1 1/2" below the wrist bone.
