Measure collar size correctly

Collar Size

  • Preparation: Open shirt, lay collar flat.
  • Path: From the center of the collar button to the end of the buttonhole.
  • Important: Guide the tape measure flat along the inside of the collar band.

Lay the shirt flat on a table with the inside facing up. Smooth out the collar band (the reinforced part) completely. Place the tape measure in the center of the collar button and guide it under slight tension along the lower seam of the collar band to the outer end of the buttonhole. This measurement in centimeters corresponds to your collar size.

Important Note:

The following instructions are exclusively for measuring an existing shirt that fits you well (finished measurements). These values are not identical to your body measurements, as a shirt requires a comfort allowance.

Your Design Freedom:

When ordering a new shirt, you can modify the values. Do you want a tighter silhouette? Reduce the waist width by 1–2 cm. Do you need room for a wristwatch? Increase the corresponding cuff width (usually left).

Do

Open the collar and lay it flat. Measure from the center of the button to the end of the buttonhole.

Don't

Do not measure on the inside of the closed collar.
