Also, it would be impossible to place a finger between the neck and collar without stretching or tugging. The collar doesn't touch the neck — it rests on the whole area surrounding it, almost like the collar of a coat that you lazily hung up.
There's also a gap that's large enough to squeeze in about 4 fingers. The proper fit means that the collar touches the skin around the neck — but doesn't press against it.
So you're able to slip 2 fingers comfortably in between your neck and the collar at any point. The shoulder points are shifted beyond your shoulders and towards the neck.
As a result, part of the sleeves may also end up resting over the shoulders — causing wrinkles. The shoulder points slump off the shoulders and down onto your upper arms. As a result, the shirt is prone to ballooning and making your upper body look broader.
This is where the shoulder points sit perfectly at the edge of your shoulders — where the plane of the shoulder meets the plane of the outer arm. The armscye the hole where the sleeve joins the shirt body is large enough that it doesn't cause tugging or twisting of the shoulder seam. That allows you to move your arms freely and comfortably. You'll notice that the buttons strain to close, which causes wrinkles to form around the buttonholes.
The tightness may also cause some pulling on the sleeves — putting pressure on the shoulder seams. The excess fabric tends to billow around your waist or chest.
Learn how to measure for a suit here. There are benefits to having your measurements taken professionally, and expert guidance can really help. Always wear a dress shirt to get fitted. Give the person taking your measurements a good idea of how you like your formal wear to fit.
Bring a photo of the fit you want. Skip to content. I always iron right sleeve and then left sleeve — you do whatever suits your fancy. See the way this seam is lying flat? You want to find that seam on your shirt and then lay the fabric flat against it. It will cause the crease running down the arm to look uneven.
After finding the seam, smooth the material flat with your hands. Determine where the crease will be and then press over it with your iron. Determine exactly where you want the creases in the wrist to be the fabric is naturally gathered to create a crease. While holding one end of the cuff taut, use your iron in the other hand to press down the creases.
Tip: For a professional look, do not iron over the buttons that are on the underside of the shirt. It will make the fabric look shiny. Your next section to iron is the right side of the body. Start at the top by the shoulder.
Drape the shoulder portion of the fabric over the edge of the board and iron just that section. Then move the shirt around and iron the top button area. This portion is the most awkward to maneuver in ironing a shirt. Now drape your shirt over the board so you can iron the body portion and between the button holes.
If they are delicate buttons you might melt them. Now slide the shirt over and iron the back of the shirt. Iron one portion of the back, right up to the pleat. Now slide the shirt over your board so you can focus on the pleat. The sleeve length is measured from the center back of the neck, just below the collar, over the shoulder and down to the end of the cuff.
This is an industry standard way of measuring the sleeve length.
