Choosing the right shirt size is essential for comfort and style. South African shirt sizes for men typically follow the UK sizing system, which uses chest measurements in inches or centimeters to determine the correct size. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you find the perfect fit.
How to Measure Your Shirt Size
- Chest Measurement:
- Use a flexible tape measure to measure around the fullest part of your chest. Ensure the tape measure is level and snug but not tight.
- Neck Measurement:
- Measure around the base of your neck where a shirt collar would sit. Allow some room for comfort.
- Sleeve Length:
- Measure from the back of your neck, over your shoulder, and down to your wrist to find the correct sleeve length.

Important Considerations:

- Regular Fit: More room through the chest and waist, offering a traditional fit.
- Relaxed Fit: Extra room through the chest, waist, and arms for comfort.
- Shirt Length:
- Ensure the shirt length is suitable for your height. It should be long enough to tuck in comfortably without coming untucked easily.
- Sleeve Length:
- Sleeve length can vary by brand. Make sure to check the sleeve length measurement to ensure it fits your arm length.
- Material:
- Different materials may fit differently. For example, cotton shirts might shrink slightly after washing, so consider this when choosing your size.
