We cut our sleeves longer to allow for 2-3% shrinkage after laundering. It typically takes a couple washing to complete the shrinking process. You should expect roughly an inch to an inch and a half reduction in the sleeve length.
How to measure
Chest: the tape measure should be up under the arms and straight across the shoulder blades.
Neck: Measure around the middle of the neck (at the Adam’s apple). Allow room for your index finger to fit between the tape and your neck for comfortable fit.
Sleeve: With elbow bent, measure from the middle of your back directly below the neck, across the shoulder and elbow to the wrist. The total inches will be your sleeve length.
Waist: Measure around your natural waistline, keeping the tape comfortably loose.
