#BeBetter at Finding Great Fitting Shirts
Our sole focus (at the moment) is all about bringing you better fitting shirts, so we thought we’d devote a #BeBetter post to the details that work together to compose a great fitting shirt.
Collar: Too many people settle for collars that are either too snug, or way too loose. We make the shirt to fit the width of your neck—not some mannequin or fit model—but your very own neck.
Chest: Some customers prefer a relaxed fit around the chest, while others want a cut that shows off the work they put in at the gym. No matter your preference, finding the fit that works for you around the chest is key to comfort—this can determine whether you wear the shirt again and again, or wear it once before it gets “lost” in the laundry pile.
Sleeve: The ideal sleeve should hit your wrist done, but too often, sleeves the are too long or too short are the norm. The good thing about a custom shirt is that the sleeves are made exactly to fit your arm—which means no more rolling up the cuff to disguise ill fitting sleeve lengths.
Shoulder: This is a dimension that can easily be overlooked in shirting. But the width of the shoulders plays an important role in the way the shirt fits the rest of the body. Too big and the shirt bunches and rolls and all the wrong places. Too narrow and you feel uncomfortable and restricted.
Midsection: This is one of the areas where custom fit is most appreciated. The right fit should fit like a glove—not so tight that you can’t breathe, but you shouldn’t be wearing something billowy, either.
Length: Shirts that you tuck in should be a little longer than a shirt you intend to wear un-tucked. Going custom gives you the flexibility to find the length that works best for you-regardless of the length of your torso.
The next time you’re shopping for shirts, keep these 6 points in mind so you can #BeBetter at finding the best possible fit you can.
