Why not give "normal" measurements? For example, I wear dress shirts sized thusly, 18 1/2" neck, 34/35" sleeves. This translates to 2XL, which has about a 46" chest.
What the heck is a XL with a 23" chest and 26" sleeves?

CheezitsTakeTheWheelDress shirts are generally measured by neck and sleeve like you mention, but these come in alpha sizes. Providing garment measurements is actually more accurate because you can compare these measurements to shirts that you already own, rather than just guessing.

CheezitsTakeTheWheelIf you lay the shirt flat and measure the XL from arm-pit to arm-pit it will be 23". You double that, and get the chest size 46". This is the new way of measuring for the internet.

FJCruiserThe "new way of measuring for the internet" as you call it is BANANAS.
I understand how to do it. I just don't want to. We don't need a new way to measure shirts.
These shirts are small and skinny. I am neither, therefore, I'm out.

CheezitsTakeTheWheelLOL... fortunately, i like bananas :) Seriously though, i personally prefer this way of measuring. I think it gives me a better understanding of the size. For example, I dont need half of my back to be included in my sleeve measurement.
