KUSTOM KIT TIP: Workwear brands tend to fit differently to what you will be familiar with on the high street. Our size charts have remained consistent for over 20 years, whereas the high streets have changed. Typically, menswear is smaller and ladieswear is larger than in the early 2000’s. For example, a high street ladies' size 14 at the turn of the century was made to fit a 36 inch bust. This is now the measurement for a size 10-12. That is why we always recommend customers check out our size chart, as every brand fits differently!
Your actual body measurements will guide you to your size.
A man with a 44 inch chest will probably find an XL fits them best, while a 40 inch chest would suggest a size M is the right choice.
Always remember this chart is a ‘to fit’ guide, not actual garment measurements. Due to the variety of different fits across the Kustom Kit range, we encourage our customers to refer to the individual product sheets. On these sheets you will find the actual garment measurements for each of our styles. These measurements will give the most accurate indication of how the garment will fit you.
KUSTOM KIT TIP: In-between sizes? Consider the fit – classic fit garments are a generous cut so consider sizing down.
This is our guide to fit. Please always refer to actual garment measurements.
Our product sheets list the actual measurements of our garments.

KUSTOM KIT TIP: Ensure the perfect fit by measuring your favourite fitting garment and use the product sheet to find the matching measurements.
We understand that everybody is different so our shirts are available in a huge range of sizes and fits to ensure the whole workforce looks and feels great! This guide will help you find your perfect Kustom Kit shirt and understand how each of our shirts will fit you personally.
To decide on the best fit for you, it’s important to know your measurements. Firstly measure your chest around the fullest part and refer to our ‘find your fit’ measuring guide. Next measure your collar, around the base of your neck whilst keeping your index finger between the tape and your neck, again refer to the measuring guide. The measuring guide is in actual body measurements not garment measurements, so if your chest measures 43″/112cms and your collar measures 17″/43cms we recommend that you take a 17″ collar Kustom Kit shirt.
This will depend on how you like to wear your shirts. Classic shirts are cut more generously so will be more forgiving if you size down. Slim fit shirts however are neatly cut so we would recommend sizing up if you are between sizes.
If you intend to wear a tie we recommend buying to your collar size measurement to ensure a neat and comfortable fit. Choose a classic fit if you use your collar size and a slim fit if you use your chest size. If you intend to wear the top button open then you should fit your shirt to your chest rather than your collar measurement.
Kustom Kit can provide size charts for all garments upon request and our Customer Services team will be happy to answer any queries that you may have.
Kustom Kit offers 3 different shirt fits:
A traditional silhouette featuring straight side seams and a more generous fit across the chest, waist and sleeves. Cut with a long shirt tail that stays tucked in and wide armholes for ease of movement. Our classic shirts will have either side pleats or a central pleat to the back yoke for a non restrictive and comfortable fit. As a guide based on a 17″ collar shirt the actual chest measurement will be 16cms larger than your actual chest and 32cms larger than your actual waist. Sounds a lot? Not really when you consider these measurements in a 3 dimensional context, refer to the illustration below.
Our tailored fit shirts are just that! Tailored through the body and sleeve for a closer fit that is both smart and contemporary. We taper the waist to ensure a clean silhouette while retaining an unrestricting garment shape. As a guide based on a 17″ collar shirt the garment chest measurement will be 12cms larger than your actual chest and 22cms larger than your actual waist.
Our closest fitting shirt is tailored through the body and sleeve. For a sleek appearance we taper the waist and add darts to the back. We keep the cut narrow at the shoulder and lift the armhole to enhance the modern slim silhouette. The result is a surprisingly flattering wearable garment that suits all. As a guide based on a 17″ collar shirt the garment chest measurement will be 12cms larger than your actual chest and 14cms larger than your actual waist.
Stretch Fit: Our slim-stretch shirts combine an ultra-sleek fit with a touch of elasticity to enable full range of movement whilst retaining the unmistakable feel of a Kustom Kit shirt.
