Use neck measurement to establish the starting dress-shirt size, then confirm chest, shoulder and sleeve length before choosing the final cut.
Fit names such as slim, regular, relaxed or oversized change ease without creating a universal new size system.

- Men Size Guide — H&M. Cross-check for men’s EU/US clothing, chest and waist ranges, trousers, jackets, and suit-style numeric references.
