Selecting Type of Shirt Fit Based on Body Measurements

Selecting Type of Fit: Classic vs. Slim vs. Super Slim Fit

For most men, we suggest starting with our standard or “office appropriate” Slim Fit.  It will be nicely fitted to you, yet still comfortable and not too tight.  However, if you prefer a particularly trim fit, dislike any excess fabric around the chest, waist and arms, and are not bothered by slight tightness or limited range of motion, consider the Super Slim Fit. Conversely, if you appreciate a generous, roomy fit that does not hug your body, then select the Classic Fit.  This will be looser around the chest and arms and boxier through the stomach.
