Shirt Fit Guide

The below visuals guide you through finding the perfect fit in your shirts. All Sartoro shirts are backed by our Fit Promise.

Collar Width

The Ideal Fit Is...

The collar should sit comfortably around your neck, fitting snugly without feeling restrictive. When buttoned, there should be enough room to comfortably fit one or two fingers between the collar and your neck, while maintaining a clean, structured appearance.

Consider Adjustments If...

The collar feels too tight, causing pressure or discomfort, or if excess space creates visible gaps between the collar and your neck.

Torso Shape

The Ideal Fit Is...

The shirt should follow the natural contours of your torso, creating a smooth, tailored silhouette without feeling restrictive. The fabric should lie comfortably across your chest, waist, and stomach, with enough room for natural movement.

Consider Adjustments If...

The fabric pulls tightly across your midsection, creating tension or gaps between the buttons, or if excess fabric causes noticeable billowing, bunching, or an overly loose appearance.

Sleeve Length

The Ideal Fit Is...

With your arms relaxed at your sides, the cuffs should rest near the base of your thumbs, covering your wrists without extending over your hands. When worn with a jacket, approximately half an inch of shirt cuff should remain visible.

Consider Adjustments If...

The sleeves are too short, exposing your wrists or disappearing beneath your jacket sleeves, or too long, causing excessive bunching around the cuffs or over your hands.

Untucked Shirts &

Minor Adjustments

Untucked Shirt Length

Untucked shirts should fall around the middle of your pants zipper, providing enough coverage for a balanced, polished appearance without looking oversized. The hem should follow your natural proportions and allow comfortable movement.

Small Adjustments, Big Difference

Most shirt alterations to reduce size or length are affordable, straightforward and can be completed quickly and affordably by a local tailor. A few small refinements can make all the difference in achieving a clean, polished, custom-tailored appearance.

Shoulder Width

The Ideal Fit Is...

The shoulder seams should align naturally with the edges of your shoulders, allowing the fabric to drape smoothly across your upper body. The fit should provide comfortable movement without pulling or excess fabric.

Consider Adjustments If...

The shoulder seams extend beyond your natural shoulder line, creating a drooping appearance, or sit too far inward, causing tightness, pulling, or restricted movement.

Hem Length

The Ideal Fit Is...

The shirt should extend far enough below your waist to remain securely tucked in throughout normal movement. The hem should provide sufficient coverage without excessive fabric bunching inside your pants.

Consider Adjustments If...

The shirt frequently comes untucked when sitting, bending, or raising your arms, or if excessive length creates uncomfortable bunching.

Untucked Shirt Length

Untucked shirts should fall around the middle of your pants zipper, providing enough coverage for a balanced, polished appearance without looking oversized. The hem should follow your natural proportions and allow comfortable movement.

Biceps & Forearms

The Ideal Fit Is...

The sleeves should follow the natural shape of your arms, providing a clean, tailored appearance with enough room for comfortable movement. The fabric should taper smoothly without feeling restrictive or appearing excessively loose.

Consider Adjustments If...

The sleeves feel tight around your upper arms, causing pulling or discomfort when bending your elbows, or if excess fabric creates a baggy, oversized appearance.
