Slope of shoulders affect your fit.

Hi! Glad you're here!

Take a moment and check out my favorite sites!


If you really want the perfect fitting dress shirts, then you should understand how the slope of your shoulders & the stitching of the shirt can affect the perfect fit of your shirt.

While this may be an issue for most men, it’s worth mentioning because it can make a dramatic difference for many men.To evaluate your shoulder slope,on a custom made shirts it’s important that you wear your Custom Made Shirt fully buttoned up and stand in your natural/relaxed position. Also, it can be hard to honestly evaluate your shoulder slope by simply looking in the mirror or having someone look at you. Taking a photo and looking at the photo can sometimes be very helpful.  Fat and thin men shoulder stitching should be correct.

Sloping Shoulders in Mens Shirts are commonly found in men that lift-weights.  Larger trap and shoulder muscles will create a steeper angle from the neck to the end of the shoulder.

Try to be relaxed to see wheather the chest is tight or sleeves are narrow ,this can solve the fitting problems.

Square shoulders in mens shirts are the opposite.  The angle from the neck to the outer edge of the shoulder is closer to horizontal than average.In our experience, square shoulders are usually found in skinnier guys.If you’re wearing a dress shirt, fully buttoned up, the poor-fit sign of square shoulders will be the appearance of lines/wrinkles pulling from the outside of the shoulders down towards the center of the shirt.

If you’re seeing this fit problem, you should also double check that the Shirt Shoulder is not drooping , it should be a perfect fit for your shoulders.There is nothing more to say about the normal shoulders .

 Basically, our standard fit fits you just fine.Your shoulder slope is average and you don’t see any of the poor-fit symptoms mentioned above .
