The Six Ways
There are six easy ways to find your perfect size and get shirts custom tailored to your precise specifications. Which one do you choose? The one that is easiest for you.

If you have measured by our representatives already or planning to give your measurements later please use a 3rd option in the returning customer section.

1) If your last order was a perfect fit, and you need no changes, use this option. We'll match your last order in every detail.

2) If you want a standard sized shirt, but want to make it truly your own, this option is for you. Simply add your neck, sleeve and body measurements and select your preferred fit.

3) We ask you to measure your body. This option is great if you havenot ordered from MyTailor.com in the past, or if you do not have a shirt that fits almost perfectly.

4) If you have a best fitting shirt, use this option to begin making your new 100% custom fitted shirts. You can add and subtract neck, sleeve and body measurements, and add special touches to create your custom shirts.

5) Use the mail your shirt option if you have a shirt that fits great and you prefer that we do the measurements. When you choose this option, we'll tell you where to mail your shirt and you can confirm the details.

6) Use this option If you were happy with your last shirt but want to update it. We'll find your record and make the adjustments.

The importance of precise measurements
No two people are exactly alike. To give you the best custom fitting shirt, it is essential that we get your most precise personal measurements.
Quick solution: Standard Size measuring option
You can order a standard sized shirt by choosing the 'Make Shirt in Standard Size' option. Choose this method and no measuring is required.
Putting measurements in the fields
All measurements should be entered in inches, except your weight (which is in pounds.)

Finding equivalents
You can see inches converted to centimeters, stone to lbs., or kilograms to lbs. by clicking on the 'Metric Conversion Chart' button on the measurement page.

We will show you the converted value of your typed number to appropriate cm or kg automatically by side.

Metric Conversion Chart
Your key to converting measurements to the units of your choice.
"My preferred fit"
Although we use your measurements, your preferred fit - extra full, classic or tapered - provides an exact idea of your best fitting Shirt size. Choosing your preferred fit helps us make slight changes that to your shirt to ensure that it looks great on you.
Save your sizes for Future use
Choose your preferred sizes from any of the New Customer options and fill up the required input. At the bottom of the page you can select the check box named (You may need a MyTailor.com Account). Now your given sizes are saved across your account for future orders.
Ordering the same fit you ordered before
Choose the Make My Shirt Same as Last Option to select the same measurements as last order. We keep all your sizes and details in our database for later reference.

For adding any changes or extra comments to the measurements from your last order, kindly use the Make Same as Last with Changes option.

Laundry information
Don't worry. You won't be receiving a free box of detergent and endless cycles of telemarketing calls. We request laundry information so we can anticipate the shrinkage of each garment, and make subtle adjustments to ensure a magnificent fit.
Best way to get a great fitting shirt
If you carefully follow our measurement instructions, you are sure to get the right fitting. However, the most popular option is to mail us your best fitting shirt and allow us to do the measurements. We'll handle your shirt with kid gloves and return it with your new order.
