How to Measure Sleeve Length

Tall Long Sleeve Shirt Sleeve Length

Every time I shop for clothes online, and see that awesome shirt we want, but it has all these sizes to choose from? Sure, I know my size, or so I think! Every brand has its own sizes! So I decided to write a guide as to how to measure shirt sleeve length:

Method #1)

Start from the center of the neck and measure all the way down to the wrist.

Example: Tall Long Sleeve Shirt

Method # 2)

Some companies like to measure shirt sleeve length starting from shoulder all the way down to the wrist.

In this example, we will look at a 3/4th sleeve raglan shirt:

Here is an example size chart for method # 2:

In a perfect world, we would have standardized size chart. But that is very very challenging task. There are so many different fittings for clothing, and each company tailors clothes for their particular audience (out of 7 billion people). Thus there are many different ways to measure sizes, as well as different measurements.
