Shirt Size Chart

Shirt sizes by collar measurement (US inches to EU) plus alpha sizes — the chart that decodes 15.5" vs EU 39.

How to find your size

Use a well-fitting garment's label, or measure bust/chest, waist and hips.

Find your size's row — every column in that row is the same size in another system.

Between sizes or between brands, the larger size is usually the safer buy.

Charts are industry-standard approximations — sizing varies between brands, so check the brand's own chart when you can.

What do shirt collar sizes mean?

Dress shirts are sized by collar circumference — inches in the US (e.g. 15.5), centimetres/EU elsewhere (15.5 in ≈ EU 39).

Are these charts exact?

They're the common industry standard, but brands vary — treat them as the best starting point, not a guarantee.
