Tips for measuring your shirt: The collar measurement should be taken when the collar is spread flat. Measure from the middle of the button hole to the center of the collar button. To measure the chest, button the shirt and lay it flat. Then, measure from edge to edge just below the armpit and double the number. The waist of the shirt will be the most narrow point. Dress shirts rely on two measurements, neck size, and sleeve length. The neck size appears first, and increases by half inches range from 13" to 19".

The second number is the sleeve length. Every shirt has two length options that depend on which of the buttons you are using on the cuff. With the shirt laid flat, back facing up, place the tape at the point on the bottom seam of the yoke where the yoke attaches to the sleeve. Measure straight across to the same point on the other side of the shirt start and finish on the outside edge of the sames. Like other measurements, smooth out the fabric and pull it tight without stretching it.

Lay the shirt flat with the back facing up. Extend the right sleeve out to the side and smooth it out as much as possible.

Start the tape measure at the middle of the yoke, just below the collar band and measure out to the seam where the yoke attaches to the sleeve. Place a finger on the measuring tape at the seam where the yoke attaches to the sleeve to keep it in place, and then pull the tape measure taut to the end edge of the cuff on the sleeve. The correct measurement in the example photos is 36".
