How to measure for a shirt

Two important things to remember:

1) Always measure in inches
2) When measuring just stand in your normal posture.

There are 8 measurements that we need to take to make a shirt.

This was the 3rd video I watched trying to figure out what each measurement meant.
Wish I started with this one.

I thought you measured the shoulder across the front, good to know you do not. 👍

I’ve seen a few videos on this. Fingers vary from one to two behind the tape measure. Is there a definitive answer?

Hello, I personally like to wash my shirts either by machine or hand using a
fabric softener. Then I like to air dry them because some fibers can get damage by the heat from the dryer. Light starch and a good press with the iron. May be you are using low setting that may also work with the dryer?

What about measuring the armhole? Shouldn't this be included as well?

Horizontally, but really means vertically.

Good advice but spoiled by background music being so loud that it is not in the background, but the foreground, and in competition with the speaking. It's silly to make the music so loud that it makes it harder to understand the important information! I did not choose the video for its (irritating) music but for the information.

Do you guys in the UK hang your clothes to air dry? Or generally in the dryer? I'd love to have a bespoke shirt, I just worry that if I put it in the dryer it will shrink. Maybe it's just me, but I LOVE how soft the shirts feel when they come out of the dryer!

Actually all tailors don't. The best French shirtmakers use metric measurements.

[manickamdhayalan]

Anyone who spends money on a "bespoke" shirt, has too much money.
