What do the different wash treatment symbols mean?
Click on "About our fabrics". There you will find a link to the washing advice.
Will my shirt shrink and if so how much?
Our fabrics are sanforized or pre-washed to reduce shrinkage at a minimum, but cotton fabrics may still shrink. We can adjust for shrinkage of the particular fabric you have chosen when making the shirt. This implies that the shirt will be slightly larger before first wash and be on your measurements after the first wash. You select this option when defining your measurement profile.
Do you offer easy care/iron free shirts?
Several of our fabrics have been treated for easy care. You can find more detailed information about all fabrics under "Our fabrics". A general advise is to avoid spin-drying, but let the shirt dry on a hanger and you will have to iron it only so little.
Where can I learn more about the different fabrics?

Which fit should I choose?
When choosing a fit, your comfort is the most important factor to take into consideration.
Our Slim fit model is accurately cut to match your body without unwanted excess fabric. Please note that we of course add movement room to your shirt when producing it.
If you want a little more movement room in your shirt we recommend our Normal fit. This is also cut to match your figure, but leaves a little more space for you to move. A comfortable fit while still being formal.
For casual occasions or if you are a big person, try our Loose fit. This is a straight cut, leaving much more movement room in your shirt. As this fit leaves quite a bit of extra fabric on the shirt, it is not recommended for formal occasions
