Men's Plus Size Chest Pocket Button Down Shirt

How to measure

Use a soft measuring tape. Record measurements in inches or centimeters (1 in = 2.54 cm). Measure relaxed and breathing normally. Compare your body measurements to the garment measurements or a shirt you already own for the best fit.

Measure your body

1. Neck: Measure around the base of the neck where a collar would sit. Leave one finger between tape and neck for comfort.
2. Chest (bust): Wrap the tape around the fullest part of the chest, under the arms and across the shoulder blades, keeping the tape level and snug but not tight.
3. Waist: Measure around the natural waist (narrowest part), or where you normally wear your pants.
4. Hips: Measure around the fullest part of the hips.
5. Shoulder width: Measure across the back from shoulder seam to shoulder seam (or from tip to tip of the shoulders).
6. Sleeve length: For standard shirt sleeve length, measure from the center back of the neck, over the shoulder and down to the wrist (slightly bent). Alternatively measure from the shoulder seam to the cuff of a well-fitting shirt.
7. High point shoulder (HPS) to hem: Measure from the highest point of the shoulder near the neck to where you want the shirt hem to fall (this determines overall length).
8. Bicep: Measure around the fullest part of the upper arm (useful if you want extra sleeve room).

Measure a shirt that fits you well (recommended)

1. Lay the shirt flat on a smooth surface and smooth out wrinkles without stretching the fabric.
2. Chest width: Measure across 1" (2–3 cm) below the armholes from seam to seam; multiply by 2 for full chest.
3. Shoulder: Measure across from one shoulder seam to the other.
4. Sleeve: Measure from shoulder seam to end of cuff.
5. Length: Measure from the high point shoulder (HPS) — the seam where the collar meets the shoulder — down to the hem.
6. Hem width: Measure across the bottom edge and multiply by 2.

Fit & ease guidance

Choose how much extra room (ease) you want beyond your body measurement:

• Slim/trim fit: 0.5–2" (1–5 cm) ease at chest.
• Regular/classic: 3–4" (7–10 cm) ease at chest.
• Relaxed/overshirt: 4–6" (10–15 cm) ease at chest (good for layering).
• If you are between sizes, size up for comfort, especially for plus-size shirts where movement and layering are considerations.

Materials & fabric details

Check the garment label for the exact fiber content. Common materials used for this style and what to expect:

• 100% Cotton — breathable, soft, comfortable; may shrink slightly if washed in hot water or dried on high heat. Ideal for everyday wear and warm weather.
• Cotton/Polyester blend — combines natural breathability with wrinkle resistance and durability; easier care and less shrinkage.
• Oxford / Poplin / Twill weaves — describes weave structure: Oxford has a textured basket weave (casual), poplin is smooth and lightweight, and twill (diagonal weave) is durable with a little weight.
• Flannel / Brushed cotton — soft, warm, slightly fuzzy surface; great for cooler seasons but can require gentler care to preserve the brushed finish.
• Linen or linen blends — very breathable and cool but prone to wrinkling; dries quickly and feels lighter in hot weather.
• Rayon / Viscose blends — drapey and soft, with a smooth hand; usually require lower heat when washing and drying.

Buttons, thread, and trims may be synthetic or natural; check the label for details.

If exact fabric content is required, consult the product specifications on the product page or the sewn-in care label before purchase.

Model information & fit notes

Photos are provided as a reference for fit and proportion. Exact model stats are normally listed on the product page next to the images. Use that information to estimate how the shirt will sit on you.

• How to use model info: Compare the model’s chest and height (and the size they are wearing) to your measurements. If the model’s chest is smaller than yours and is wearing the same size, expect a roomier fit on you; if the model’s chest is larger, your size may be slimmer.
• Typical example for plus-size imagery: A displayed model may be around 6'0" (183 cm) with a chest in the mid‑40s inches and wearing a 2XL–3XL to show a comfortable, relaxed fit. Use it only as a guide; always check measurements.
• Between sizes? If you plan to layer a tee or sweater underneath, choose the larger size for extra room in the chest and shoulders.

Care guide — to keep it lovely longer

• Always check the sewn-in care label first. Labels provide manufacturer recommendations specific to the fabric.
• Machine wash: Cold or warm water with like colors on a gentle cycle is safe for most cottons and blends. Avoid hot water to prevent shrinking and color fading.
• Turn inside out: Turn the shirt inside out before washing to protect buttons, prints and the face of the fabric.
• Detergent & bleach: Use a mild detergent. Avoid chlorine bleach; use color-safe bleach only when necessary.
• Drying: Tumble dry low or remove promptly and hang to dry to minimize wrinkles and shrinkage. For linen or delicate blends, air-dry flat or hang dry.
• Ironing: Iron on the appropriate setting for the fabric (medium for cotton blends, low for synthetic blends). Iron inside out to avoid sheen; use steam for stubborn wrinkles.
• Flannel care: Wash cold, tumble low and avoid high heat to preserve the brushed surface.
• Storage: Hang on a wide hanger to maintain shoulder shape. Button the top button if storing long-term to protect the collar shape; avoid overcrowding.
• Small repairs: Replace loose buttons promptly and stitch small seam issues before they grow.

Style tips

• Casual weekend: Wear untucked over slim or straight-leg jeans with sneakers. Roll sleeves once or twice for a relaxed look.
• Smart casual: Tuck into chinos or tailored trousers, add a belt that matches your shoes, and finish with loafers or desert boots.
• Layering: Use as an overshirt (unbuttoned) over a crewneck tee for transitional weather, or wear under a sweater/blazer for a sharper silhouette.
• Pattern & color guidance: Darker, solid colors or subtle vertical stripes create a slimming, elongating effect. Avoid very large, busy prints centered on the torso if you prefer a streamlined look.
• Proportion tips: Make sure the shoulder seams align with your shoulders for a tidy fit. Hem should generally hit around mid-hip for untucked shirts; if it goes much past that, it reads as oversized.
• Accessories: A leather belt, a casual watch, and low-profile shoes complete most looks. For colder months, layer with a lightweight jacket or cardigan that sits comfortably over the shirt shoulders.
• Tailoring: If you want a perfect fit, consider minor tailoring (shoulders and hem) — it’s often cheaper than replacing the whole shirt and gives a custom look.
