Ultra Slim
The ultra slim fit is our fine tailored fit and it suits men with a leaner frame. It leaves almost no room for excess fabric but has enough stretch for comfort and movement. Think sharp lines, precise cuts and super slim through the waist, chest and hem. Our ultra slim fit shirts cater to more slender necks and are designed with a smaller collar width.
Even though the ultra slim fit is generally narrow, it should not restrict any movement or be unyielding. If you find a tight pull across the chest, we recommend opting for the next size up.
Slim
The slim fit is a popular fit as it’s the most flattering fit for all body types. If you have broad shoulders and a narrow waist (an inverted triangle frame) especially, this is the fit for you.
Our slim fit shirts have a trimmed fit and slight room around armholes and sleeves. This fit creates a streamlined silhouette as it has little excess fabric and is cut close to the body.
With the perfect balance of modern and classic tailoring, this is the fit we’re known for.

Regular
The regular fit is our classic and traditional fit. The cut is wider throughout—with more room in the shoulders and bigger in the waist and hem. It is also wider in the armholes and sleeves. The collar also has a wider width.
This fit typically suits those with boxier frames. But as relaxed silhouettes are becoming a go-to look, we recommend this fit for those that like a boxy shape.
