This chest sizes are massively problematic on this otherwise good quality shirt. I''m 6ft tall of average build, and I ordered a 16 and a half collar , thinking the chest size( which wasn''t listed) would be around 42-44. The chest actually mesures 52 , as does the waist! These shirts were fairly fitted in ww2, so these proportions don''t make sense. I know they are made for the modern sedentry American, rather than their more active grand fathers, but would anyone with a 52 chest and waist have a 16 and a half collar? The material and workmanship is good in comparison to my original 40s shirt. Even though it''s unwearably out of proportion , I''m going to keep it , next to my original ww2 size 16 and half collar shirt( with a 42 chest) , as a reminder of what the modern world has done to health of man.
