How do I find my shirt size?
Measure your chest (or bust) with a soft tape around the fullest part, then match the number in cm to the shirt size chart. When between sizes, choose the larger letter for a relaxed tee fit.

On our men’s international letter chart, Medium (M) is about 96 cm chest (EU 48). Brand tees vary—confirm on the product chart.

On our men’s chart, XL is about 106 cm chest (EU 52). XXL is about 111 cm; XXXL about 116 cm.

It depends on the system. On many men’s dress shirts, neck ~40 cm often maps near XL on our letter table (neck column ~40 for XL). Women’s EU “40” is a dress size, not the same as men’s collar 40. Always use chest/bust cm or the brand legend.
