Shirt size 41: centimetres, inches, size M and how to measure your neck with Valensia Moda

A size 41 shirt corresponds to a neck of 41 centimetres. In UK and US sizing it becomes 16 inches. In the Valensia collection, neck 41 corresponds to size M. Here we explain how to read the number on the label, how to convert it to inches, how to measure your neck, and how the measurement changes when the shirt is made to measure in our showroom in Capriano del Colle.

What does size 41 mean on a shirt?

The 41 is the neck measurement in centimetres. With numeric sizes, the rest of the shirt depends on the neck: by choosing the neck number you are in effect choosing the whole size.

Shirt size 41: how many inches is it?

How many inches is a 41 neck?

16 inches, in UK and US sizes. One inch is 2.54 centimetres: 41 divided by 2.54 gives 16.1, so 16 inches.

How do you convert neck centimetres to inches?

Divide the centimetres by 2.54. To go the other way, multiply the inches by 2.54.

If the label reads 15 and a half, the neck measures about 39 centimetres (15.5 times 2.54 is 39.4).

Is a shirt with a 41 neck an M or an L?

Which size is neck 41?

It depends on the brand, because the match with letter sizes changes from one label to another. At Valensia, neck 41 corresponds to size M. In other brands it may be an L. When you change brand, start from the neck measurement in centimetres and use the letter as a secondary reference.

In the size guide for our shirts you will find, for each size from S to XL, the chest, back length, waist and sleeve measurements.

How do you measure your neck to find your shirt size?

Where do you measure the shirt neck?

Measure your neck where the collar sits, keeping one finger between the tape and your neck. The number you read in centimetres is your neck measurement, to be compared with the brand's size chart.

The neck measurement in a made-to-measure shirt

How is the neck measured for a made-to-measure shirt?

For a Valensia made-to-measure shirt we measure the neck against the skin and decide the ease together with you, as we do for the chest, shoulders and waist. The measurement therefore does not come from a conversion chart: it starts from your own neck.

At the first appointment you choose the fabric with our help and try the sample shirt; on that basis we define the fit and take your measurements against the skin. The shirt is ready 10 to 15 working days after the first appointment.

Is the collar chosen together with the neck measurement?

Yes, with made-to-measure both are decided together. To understand which collar shape suits your face and your tie knot, read the article "How to choose the right collar".
