Fit & Care Guide

Our classic cut is modern and styled to provide an elegant silhouette. It is gently tailored rather than athletic. Our sizing, based on chest measurements are as follows:

36"-38" Small
38"-41" Medium
41"-44" Large
44"-47" X-Large
47"+ XX-Large

Allow for a little shrinkage on first wash to give a slightly neater fit. This is perfectly normal for fine natural cottons. You can expect this to be a cm (0.5 inch) or so across the chest and a little more on the body length. 

** Size down for our performance polyester shirts which are larger cut**

Our size tables below should help you find an ideal fit for our cotton shirts and sweaters. The measurements are approximate in cm (and inches) and assume a little bit of shrinkage.

Care for your Garments

To keep your Linksman garments at their best, we recommend machine washing in cold water on a gentle cycle and allow to dry naturally on a hanger (avoid the tumble dryer or direct heat). Exposure to extremes of heat in washing and drying can lead to unwanted shrinkage. If this happens, to help return the garment to shape, we recommend briefly soaking in cool water before carefully ironing the garment back into shape and leaving to dry naturally on a hanger.
