Have you ever bought a Men’s dress shirt that you found fit great in the collar the first time you wear it, to then find after a couple of launderings the collar feels snug? Men’s dress shirts will often shrink anywhere from ј”-3/8” after repeated launderings. The problem here is that most gentlemen buy the wrong size shirt, because they do not take into consideration a shrinkage allowance in deciding what size shirt to buy. Therefore, buying the right size dress shirt will help the shirt to fit correctly not just the first time you wear it, but also after repeated launderings. We recommend that you get professionally measured for a shirt. However, if that is not possible – take a tape (please don’t use that metal tape from your garage workshop) and measure around your neck to determine the actual skin measurement. If the skin measurement is between 13” to 15-1/2” add an additional Ѕ” to that measurement for the correct collar size inclusive of shrinkage. Therefore, if your neck skin measures 15” – add Ѕ” & your correct collar size would be 15-1/2”. Subsequently, if the neck skin measures between 16” to 18”, then add ѕ” to the measurement. If the neck measures between 18” to 21” add an extra full 1” to the neck measurement for the correct collar size. Considering the investment you make in your clothing, shouldn't the quality of your drycleaner also be a priority? We believe it should. That's why it's important you take your clothing to a Sanitone Certified Master Drycleaner. These cleaners use the industry's leading chemicals and procedures in caring for your wardrobe. A good dry cleaner that uses Sanitone products will make a difference in the care of your Men’s clothing. Considering the shrinkage allowance in purchasing men’s dress shirts will help you to experience a longer life for your dress shirts and you can stop cursing your dry cleaner, because he shrunk your shirts again.
