Dress Shirt Size Calculator

Turn neck and sleeve measurements into a dress-shirt size: collar × sleeve, EU collar and S–XXL letter. In or cm, in your browser.

Sizes are approximate and vary by brand — always check the maker's own size chart.

About this tool

Enter your neck circumference and sleeve length in inches or centimetres and this calculator returns a men's dress-shirt size: the collar × sleeve number (for example 15.5 × 34/35), the European collar in centimetres, and the S–XXL letter equivalent. Everything is computed in your browser from built-in charts — nothing is uploaded and it works offline.

The method mirrors how shirts are labelled. Collar size is your neck measurement rounded up to the nearest half-inch, so a 15.3" neck becomes a 15.5" collar; the EU collar is that value converted to centimetres (collar × 2.54, rounded). Sleeve size is the measured back-of-neck-to-wrist length paired into the standard even/odd bracket (33" falls in 32/33, 34" in 34/35). The alpha size comes from the collar: 14–14.5" is S, 15–15.5" M, 16–16.5" L and 17–17.5" XL, with the half-inch collars shown as a slash size (15.5" = M/L) because they straddle two brackets.

Measure the neck where the collar sits, keeping one finger of room, and measure the sleeve from the centre back of the neck, across the shoulder and down a slightly bent arm to the wrist bone. These sizes are approximate and vary by brand, so always check the maker's own size chart before buying.

Frequently asked questions

How is collar size calculated?
It is your bare neck circumference rounded up to the nearest half-inch. A 15.1" or 15.4" neck both become a 15.5" collar so the shirt is never tight. The EU collar is that figure in centimetres (collar × 2.54).
What does a sleeve size like 34/35 mean?
Dress-shirt sleeves are sold in two-inch brackets rather than exact lengths. A measured 34" or 35" sleeve is a 34/35, a 32" or 33" sleeve is a 32/33 — the extra inch is taken up in the cuff and fit.
Why is 15.5" shown as M/L?
Half-inch collars sit exactly on the line between two letter sizes: 15.5" is the top of the M range and the bottom of L, so it is commonly printed as M/L. Whole-inch collars map to a single letter.
Are these sizes exact?
No. They follow common published conventions, but fit, cut and labelling differ between brands and between slim, regular and classic fits. Treat the result as a starting point and confirm with the brand's chart.
