Fit Card · sizing for guys who hate returns

Start from the shirts that already fit.

Size charts say who a size is meant for, not how the shirt will fit you. Tell us your 5 best-fitting shirts and we'll build your numbers from them, then tell you which size to buy in every brand. No tape measure on your body.

Why the size chart doesn't help

A size chart describes a man, not a shirt. Uniqlo's own chart says a Large is for a 41–44″ chest. Here's how big Uniqlo's Large shirts actually are, measured around the chest:

AIRism T-Shirt41½″
DRY-EX T-Shirt44″
AIRism Cotton T-Shirt45½″
Waffle Henley48″
DRY Pique Polo49″
Oxford Shirt50½″
What the chart says a Large is for: a 41–44″ chest. Every shirt above is a Large from Uniqlo's own product measurements.

Same brand, same Large, a 9″ difference. The chart can't tell you which one will fit you, because it never measures the shirt. It also asks you to tape-measure your own chest, which almost nobody does right. That's why two Larges fit nothing alike, and why so many shirts go back.

Start from shirts that fitThe shirts you already reach for say how roomy you like it, better than any chart.
Measure the shirt, not youWe find each shirt's real measurements. If a brand doesn't publish them, you measure it flat with your phone.
Compare shirt to shirtEvery pick is put in terms of shirts you own: "fits like your Puma L, ½″ roomier."

Shirts you own. Start with the ones you reach for first: tees, polos, henleys, sweaters. A shirt that doesn't fit helps too, so tell us where it's off. A product link helps us find the exact shirt.
