An off the peg shirt relies on a single measurement – the circumference of your neck – for the sizing. All other dimensions, such as breadth of chest, length of arms, width of shoulders, size of biceps & wrists, roundness of stomach and length of torso are then taken as an average from that neck size.

With Mike Rajas Tailor Tailored Shirts all these measurements are perfect for your size. In a lot of cases, ready to wear shirts are far too big because they have to accommodate such a wide range of bodies. A shirt with a 15in collar could be the ‘correct’ size for a skinny man who is 6ft, or a larger man who is 5ft 4in. It’s possible that their neck measurement will be the only thing in common.  Page: 1. 2.
