NOTE: We use a "tailor's measurement" to get your Sleeve Length, this is your actual length. When you buy an "Off The Rack" shirt in the store your Sleeve Length will be longer because they use a "retail measurement" that includes both your Sleeve Length and half of your Shoulder Length. Do not be alarmed if the Sleeve Length that you give us is 10-12" shorter than your normal (retail) Sleeve Length; it is correct.

neck dress shirt

Measure from the middle of the button hole to the middle of the button. If the neck is perfect, use the actual measurement; If a little snug, add 1/4 inch. Round up your measurement to the nearest quarter inch.
