The length needs to be long enough to tuck, but not so long that it looks like a business shirt pulled out.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/toddshelton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/shirts_fit_length_515.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-437 size-full\" title=\"shirts_fit_length_515\" src=\"https:\/\/toddshelton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/shirts_fit_length_515.jpg\" alt=\"Shirts fit length\" width=\"515\" height=\"314\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>The Armholes and Sleeves<\/h2>\n<p>Often overlooked when evaluating a shirt, the armhole measurements have a meaningful function in how well your shirt fits.\u00a0 An armhole cut too generous leaves excessive fabric to sag and fold.\u00a0 In contrast, an stingy fitted armhole will create pulling and comfort\/mobility issues.\u00a0 As with all fit categories for shirts, finding the right balance is the answer.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/toddshelton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/shirts_fit_collar_5151.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-438 size-full\" title=\"shirts_fit_collar_515\" src=\"https:\/\/toddshelton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/shirts_fit_collar_5151.jpg\" alt=\"Shirts fit collar\" width=\"515\" height=\"450\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We hope you found this article helpful.\u00a0 Please view our <a title=\"todd shelton shirts\" href=\"https:\/\/toddshelton.com\/shirts\">shirt collection<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/toddshelton.com\/\">Todd Shelton<\/a>\u00a0shirts are made in America<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> \u201cA Tailored Fit\u201d or \u201cSlightly Fitted\u201d if you\u2019re searching for a quick answer.
