Shirt sizes in Germany

I keep facing this problem every now and then. Something like 50 fits me, so does 100 or so. And then 25 is just a bit small. If someone could help me out of this dilemma a free beer is on the way.

50 would be the normal sizes, 100 would be equivalent to 50 except in a tall version and 25 is equivalent just the short version.

Did you try using the search: for example

Horrible. I used the search with the words shirt sizes. Didn't get any results except for the fact that a lot of people are interested in shopping.

Edit: I actually searched clothes sizes

Try just the word 'sizes'. If at first you don't succeed, search, search again. Or buy a parrot with no teeth.

Now searching for the parrot with no teeth.

What do you mean when you say "shirt size"? The size of the neck? The chest?

I find that most shirts here do have the neck size in inches.

the thread title and the post seems to be confusing shirt sizes with suit sizes. "50" is a suit size not a shirt size.

Shirt sizes will be done by collar size, so take your usual size in inches in and times by 2,54 and then round. A 15" 1/2 is about a 39/40. A 16" is a 41.

Actually, no they don't, I'm talking bollocks. They're usually in CM. Not quite sure where I got the idea that I have a 39 inch neck.

Use the handy formula posted by OG (perhaps take a pocket calculator when you go shopping) to convert the size to inches.

Or maybe use a tape measure to measure your neck before you go shopping.

Or get them made "bespoke". Very good prices from a tailor I can recommmend (almost as cheap as buying from the normal stores), if its any help.
