How to find your perfect size at Orleans Embroidery

on Monday, March 26, 2012
We here at Orleans Embroidery want you to be 100% happy with your purchase, so we are trying to provide not only the highest quality possible, but also the most information possible, so that you can make an educated and regret-free decision before you buy.

What we have been realizing lately is that it is not always easy for our customers to choose the right size when ordering shirts. "Just order your size," you may think. "How hard can it be?"

Well, harder than it should be. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as standardized sizing, so it is pretty much up to each company how big or small their clothing runs. This means that a woman, on average wearing a Large, might need an Extra Large in some cases, but also fit into a Medium perfectly in others. That being said, a Large in women's sizes, which tend to be smaller than men's sizes. Oftentimes, especially work attire, such as polo shirts or regular T-shirts, is only available in unisex sizes; this, again, could mean that a unisex Small could be enough occasionally.

Confused yet?

We know. That is why we are currently working on a comprehensive chart of products we carry and their measurements, so that all you have to do is take one of your own shirts that fits you well, measure it and check our chart for a corresponding size. To make sure that you will be able to determine the size as reliably as possible, we provide 5 key measurements: the overall garment length, chest width, shoulder to shoulder width, the bottom seam width and the sleeve length.


In a sizing chart, they will appear like this, for example:


This way, you can order shirts that you know will fit you for sure, so you can step out into the world with confidence and know that you look exactly like you wanted to look in your custom embroidered shirt from Orleans Embroidery.
