WHY MEASURE?
We provide actual measurements because we use manufacturer's size designations, such as S, M, L, XL, etc, as searchable guides only, which should not be used to determine a garment's fit.  These vary greatly, are not standardized from manufacturer to manufacturer, change over time, and can be affected by use and washing on previously owned garments. Measure to ensure you won't incur the hassle & expense of returning your item because it didn't fit! Thanks for looking!
HOW WE MEASURE
Pit to pit - lay the shirt flat and measure the front from side seam to side seam, just under the arm. this measurement doubled is the chest size
Length - lay the shirt flat on it's front and measure the distance from the collar seam to the bottom hem. On a collarless shirt, measure the vertical distance from the shoulder seam closest to the neck, to the hemline.
Along with collectibles and household items, we have a huge selection of tropical, vintage,
casual and dress shirts for men and women.
