At Ganton, we like to take the time to ensure our customers get the right size for them. Our shirts feature labels with body fit, collar size and often sleeve length (in cm).
Below are some tips on how to measure yourself so that you can purchase your shirts with confidence.
Take one of your best fitting shirts. Lay the collar flat and measure the inside of the collar from the centre of the button to the centre of the buttonhole.
Alternatively you can ask someone to measure around your neck, allowing enough room for two fingers to be inserted comfortably between the tape measure and the neck. This should allow for a comfortable fit.
This measurement should be your collar size.
Take one of your best fitting shirts and lay it out flat with the back facing up. Locate the centre of the base of the collar, from this point measure across the top of the shoulder and then measure along the sleeve to the end of the cuff.
Alternatively you can ask someone to measure from the centre of your neck, across your shoulders and down your arm to just above the palm or desired length of sleeve.
If the measurement falls between two sizes, choose the longer size.
Take the same best fitting shirt and lay it out flat (front side down) and measure across the back from arm hole seam to arm hole seam and multiply measurement by 2.
Alternatively you can measure around your chest by running the tape under your arms, across chest and around your back making a complete loop and leaving enough space so that the measurement would not be skin tight.
Take the same best fitting shirt and lay it out flat (front side up) measure across the front at the 5th button (including the top button) and multiply measurement by 2.
Alternatively you can measure by making a loop around your waist to make a complete loop and leaving enough space so that the measurement would not be skin tight.
