How to Measure Your Shirt Size Correctly

Precise measurement is the key to the perfect fit. Follow these three simple steps:

1

Measure Collar Size

Measure your neck circumference at the widest point. Add about 1-1.5 cm (0.5 inch) for comfort. The collar size equals the shirt size (e.g., 40 = collar width 40 cm / 15.75").

2

Measure Chest

Measure at the widest part of your chest, just below the armpits. Breathe normally and keep the tape measure level.

3

Measure Sleeve Length

Measure from the shoulder seam to your wrist with a slightly bent arm. MARVELIS offers long sleeve (approx. 64-69 cm) and short sleeve options.

💡 Tip: It's best to have someone help you measure, or use a well-fitting shirt as a reference. On our size chart pages, you'll also find helpful video tutorials.

Frequently Asked Questions About MARVELIS Fits

What's the difference between MARVELIS Modern Fit and Comfort Fit?
MARVELIS Comfort Fit has a straight cut and offers maximum freedom of movement – ideal for larger builds or when you particularly value comfort. Modern Fit is slightly tapered and sits closer to the body, perfect for average to slim builds in business settings. The difference in waist width is about 10 cm for size 40.

Who is MARVELIS Body Fit suitable for?
MARVELIS Body Fit is strongly tapered and accentuates your physique. This fit is ideal for slim and athletic men who prefer a form-fitting, modern look. If you have broad shoulders and a narrow waist, Body Fit is the optimal choice.

How do I measure my shirt size correctly?
Measure your collar size around your neck (leave about 1-1.5 cm room), your chest width at the widest point, and your sleeve length from the shoulder seam to your wrist. Use our detailed size charts for exact measurements and video tutorials.

Can I choose between two MARVELIS sizes?
If you're between two sizes, we recommend: For Comfort Fit, choose the smaller size (as the cut is already relaxed); for Body Fit, choose the larger size (as the cut is close-fitting). For Modern Fit, choose based on personal preference: smaller for a closer fit, larger for a more relaxed fit.

Do MARVELIS shirts run true to size?
Yes, MARVELIS shirts run true to size. The collar size corresponds exactly to the stated size (size 40 = collar width 40 cm). However, note that the three fits (Comfort Fit, Modern Fit, Body Fit) have different body widths – the collar size remains the same.

Which fit for business shirts?
For everyday business wear, we recommend Modern Fit – this fit offers the ideal balance between a polished appearance and wearing comfort. It looks professional without being restrictive. For very formal occasions or if you have a slim build, Body Fit is also a great choice.
