Men's Plus Size Button Down Short Sleeve Shirt

How to measure

To choose the best size, measure either a shirt that already fits you well (garment measurement) or measure your body. Use a soft measuring tape, measure flat on a table for garments, and measure snug but not tight for body measurements. Record measurements in inches or centimeters (1 in = 2.54 cm).

Garment (lay the shirt flat)

• Chest (Pit to pit): Lay the shirt flat and measure straight across from one armpit seam to the opposite armpit seam. Double that number to get the full chest circumference.
• Waist: Measure across the narrowest part of the shirt body (if tapered) and double for circumference.
• Hem: Measure across the bottom hem and double for the hem circumference.
• Shoulder width: Measure from shoulder seam to shoulder seam straight across the back.
• Front length: From the highest point of the shoulder (next to the collar) down to the bottom hem.
• Sleeve length (short sleeve): Measure from the shoulder seam to the sleeve hem.
• Sleeve opening (bicep): Measure across the widest part of the sleeve opening and double for circumference.
• Collar (neck): Measure across the collar from seam to seam (or measure collar circumference with a tape and add 1–2 cm for comfort).

Body measurements (to choose a size)

• Chest: Measure the fullest part of your chest while standing naturally. Keep the tape level under your arms and across your shoulder blades.
• Neck: Measure around the base of the neck.
• Use wearing ease: For comfort, compare your body chest measurement to the garment chest measurement and allow extra room:
  • Fitted: +1–2 in (2–5 cm)
  • Comfort/regular: +3–4 in (8–10 cm)
  • Relaxed: +4–6 in (10–15 cm)
• If you are between sizes, choose the larger size for a comfortable fit or if you prefer a relaxed look.

Materials & construction

Exact fabric content is printed on the product label. Below are common fabric options used for short sleeve button-down shirts and what to expect from each:

• 100% Cotton: Soft, breathable and comfortable. Natural fibers can wrinkle more and may shrink slightly if washed in hot water; follow care instructions to limit shrinkage.
• Cotton/Polyester blend (e.g., 60/40): Easier care, more wrinkle resistant, quick-drying and holds shape better than pure cotton.
• Linen or linen blends: Extremely breathable and lightweight—great for warm weather but prone to natural wrinkling.
• Rayon/Viscose/Modal: Smooth drape and lightweight feel; keep cool and hand-wash or use gentle cycle per label instructions.
• Elastane/Spandex (1–5%): Adds stretch and improves recovery for more comfortable movement.
• Other components: Buttons are commonly resin or corozo; collar and placket often have a fused interfacing for structure; seams typically use polyester thread for strength.

Tip: check the item description or care tag for the exact composition and follow the manufacturer’s recommended care instructions.

Model & fit reference

Example reference used in product imagery (use as a guide only): the model pictured is approximately 6'1" (185 cm) with a 46" (117 cm) chest and is wearing a 2XL to show a relaxed/comfortable fit. Individual fit will vary by body shape and personal preference — consult garment measurements and the size chart before ordering.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Before washing: Button up the shirt and turn it inside out to protect the buttons and outer fabric.
• Machine wash: Use cold or lukewarm water on a gentle cycle with like colors. Cold water reduces shrinkage and color loss.
• Detergent & bleach: Use a mild detergent; avoid chlorine bleach. Use only non-chlorine bleach if needed.
• Drying: Tumble dry low or hang to dry. Remove promptly from the dryer to reduce wrinkles. For linen or delicate blends, prefer line drying to preserve fabric integrity.
• Ironing: Iron inside out on the appropriate heat setting (medium for cotton blends, higher for 100% cotton; low for synthetic blends). Use steam for stubborn wrinkles. For linen, iron while slightly damp.
• Stain removal: Treat stains as soon as possible. Blot (don’t rub) with a mild detergent solution and rinse. Test stain removers on an inconspicuous area first.
• Storage: Hang on a properly shaped hanger to keep shoulders and collar in good shape. Button the top button to preserve collar form. Avoid overcrowding in the closet.
• Special fabrics: For delicate or specialty blends, follow the garment label—some items may require hand washing or dry cleaning.

Style tips

• Casual everyday: Wear untucked over dark jeans or chino shorts with sneakers for a laid-back look. Roll the sleeves once for extra casual flair.
• Smart-casual: Tuck into flat-front chinos with a leather belt and loafers. Add a lightweight blazer for cooler evenings.
• Layering: Use the shirt open as a light overshirt over a solid crew-neck tee for a relaxed layered outfit.
• Prints & patterns: With bold prints, keep bottoms neutral. Smaller-scale patterns often work better on plus-size silhouettes; vertical elements or longer plackets can create a lengthening effect.
• Colors: Darker solid colors (navy, charcoal, deep olive) are versatile and slimming; light colors work well in summer and pair easily with lighter bottoms.
• Accessories: Add a casual watch, woven belt, or sunglasses. For work, a leather belt and clean dress shoes elevate the look.
• Fit advice: If you prefer more room in the chest and shoulders, choose the larger size. For a neater look, ensure shoulder seams sit at the edge of your shoulder and sleeves hit mid-bicep for short-sleeve styles.
