Mr Stitch's Universal Works Shirt Size Guide
Shirt Size Guide
A practical guide to Universal Works shirt sizing, fit and garment measurements. Use the numbered illustration to see exactly where each measurement is taken.
Refab Compact Cotton Lucky Shirt
Grey Stripe · Product code 35148G
This shirt has a loose fit, a straight hem, two-piece collar and one large chest pocket. Its relaxed shape is designed for easy, untucked wear.
Garment measurements
All measurements are in centimetres (cm), taken from the manufacturer's size chart for this exact style.
| Measurement (cm) | XS | S | M | L | XL | XXL | XXXL |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Centre back length | 70 | 72 | 74 | 76 | 78 | 80 | 82 |
| Chest width (2.5 cm below armhole) | 53.5 | 56 | 58.5 | 61 | 63.5 | 66 | 68.5 |
| Sleeve length (from shoulder, including cuff) | 60.5 | 62 | 63.5 | 65 | 66.5 | 68 | 69.5 |
| Across shoulders | 44 | 46 | 48 | 50 | 52 | 54 | 56 |
These are garment measurements, not body measurements. Chest width is measured flat across the garment, not around the body. Compare the figures with a similar shirt laid flat for the most useful fit comparison.
Model reference: This model is 6'1" tall, with a 38" chest and 31" waist, and is wearing a size Large top. Refer to the model images shown with the product to see how the shirt sits and fits.

How to Measure
Lay the shirt flat on an even surface, smooth it gently without stretching, and use the numbered illustration as your guide.
- 1 · Centre back length: Measure vertically down the centre back from the base of the collar to the hem.
- 2 · Chest width: Measure straight across the chest, 2.5 cm below the armhole.
- 3 · Sleeve length: Measure from the shoulder point along the sleeve to the end of the cuff.
- 4 · Across shoulders: Measure straight across from one shoulder point to the other.
Measurements can vary slightly between garments. Use this chart for the Grey Stripe Refab Compact Cotton Lucky Shirt only; other styles may have different proportions and size charts.
THE FIT
Universal Works shirts cover a variety of silhouettes, from relaxed and boxy shapes to more classic fits. Check each product's particular cut, collar and intended fit; these can vary by style and fabric.
DETAILS
Collar shape, shoulder construction, sleeve length and hem shape all contribute to how a shirt sits. Use the style-specific chart and measuring illustration to guide your choice.
