SIZES

S (M) L (XL) XXL

The Palermo Shirt is designed with approximately 10–15 cm of positive ease. This means the measurements of the finished shirt should be 10–15 cm larger than your actual chest circumference.

The sizes S (M) L (XL) XXL correspond to chest circumferences of:
89-94 (95-103) 104-110 (111-116) 116-120 cm.

Before you begin, measure your chest circumference. At this stage, you can decide for yourself whether you prefer a looser or more fitted look. The Palermo Shirt is designed so that the circumference, total length, and sleeve length can be easily modified to your liking.

Remember to measure your chest circumference at the widest point (at nipple level).
