You've seen those collars that choke the neck, and others that look as if they belong on a much bigger person. Both problems can be avoided in just a couple of minutes.

Wrap a measuring tape around your neck (flush to the skin) at the height where the collar would be if you were wearing a shirt. Enter the exact length.

Your finished collar sizes will be entered at the right (actual skin size + 1"). You may increase the finished shirt neck size if you like. (You may even enter the finish sizes directly.)

We recommend a minimum of 3/4" more than the skin size. This may seem like too much, but it's not. Please note there is a 3/8" to 1/2" residual shrinkage in the neck when you launder the shirts. Our 30 years of experience tell us you need a little extra room.

Hold arm straight and form a fist. Take two measurements, first from center of neck to the shoulder seam (just before shoulder drop) note this size in (1) Next measure from shoulder seam to the end of the shirt cuff with the cuff unbuttoned. Or if a good fitting shirt is not available you may measure to the knuckle of little finger minus 1.5". Please enter this size in (2 ). Repeat if necessary with the other arm.
