The Dress Shirt - Does It Fit?

One of the biggest complaints that men have about their clothes is the way that their shirts fit. It does not matter if the shirt is a great label such as Luciano Barbera or a lesser brand. Many men find it very hard to get the exact right fit to their dress shirts. To help make certain that the next time you buy a shirt it is going to fit follow these simple tips.

The most important thing is the collar. You have to get your neck measured before you purchase a new shirt. It is vital that you do this regularly. Your weight does change and you may find that half an inch is going to make a big difference.

Most fashion houses produce their shirts in half-inch increments. If your neck measures 17 inches you should probably get a shirt that has a 17 and a half-inch collar. Shirt material will shrink. Although, most brands claim that their shirts are preshrunk and will not shrink, it can, and does happen. You should keep this in mind. When the top button of your shirt is done up you should be able to slip at least one finger under the collar. Some people advocate two.

If you are at the store, do not just read the numbers and think that the shirt will fit. Take a moment and try the shirt on. The neck should be snug, but you should be able to turn your head comfortably. Bend your chin to your chest, and see if the shirt feels like it is choking you. If so, get a half size larger.

The next thing to consider is the length of the sleeve. The correct way to get a sleeve measurement is to start at the back of the collar and go to the shoulder and then down the arm. You should stop measuring at the wrist bone. An extra inch is preferable to a sleeve that is too short. If you are intending to wear a jacket, you want the cuff of the sleeve to be seen.

When you put the shirt on the sleeve, it should reach to at least the wrist bone and perhaps to the top of the thumb if you like a slightly longer look.

The width of the sleeve and the cuff is also very important if you want the shirt to feel comfortable especially if you are going to wear it under a jacket. If there is too much material in the sleeve, it will bunch and gather in the jacket.

The last thing to consider is the torso of the shirt. Many French and Italian shirts are tapered to give a leaner and trimmer appearance. This is fine so long as the buttons at the front do not appear to be pulled sideways. You never want the shirt to look as though the buttons will pop off at any moment. Additionally, you do not want the shirt to gape open when you move around.

Finally, make sure you take the jacket you are intending to wear with you when buying a shirt. This will give you a very good idea of not only how the shirt will look with the jacket but also how the shirt is going to feel with the jacket on.

Joseph Barbera $105.14 Joseph Roland Joe Barbera was an influential American animator, director, producer, storyboard artist, and cartoon artist, whose movie and television cartoon characters entertained millions of fans worldwide for much of the twentieth century. Through his young adult years, Barbera lived, attended college, and began his career in New York City. After working odd jobs and as a banker, Barbera joined Van Beuren Studios in 1932 and subsequently Terrytoons in 1936. In 1937 he moved to California and while working at MetroGoldwynMayer (MGM), Barbera met William Hanna. The two men began a collaboration that was at first best known for producing Tom and Jerry and live action films. In 1957, after MGM dissolved their animation department, they cofounded HannaBarbera, which became the most successful television animation studio in the business, producing programs such as The Flintstones, The Huckleberry Hound Show, The Jetsons, ScoobyDoo, The Smurfs, and Yogi Bear. In 1967, HannaBarbera was sold to Taft Broadcasting for 12 million, but Hanna and Barbera remained head of the company until 1991. At that time the studio was sold to Turner Broadcasting System, which in turn was merged with Time Warner, owners of Warner Bros., in 1996; Hanna and Barbera stayed on as advisors. Hanna and Barbera won seven Academy Awards and eight Emmy Awards. Their cartoons have become cultural icons, and their cartoon characters have appeared in other media such as films, books, and toys. HannaBarberas shows have a global audience of over 300 million people and have been translated into more than 20 languages.

The Hanna-barbera Treasury $68.51 Here, for the first time, is a showcase presentation of the best of the art from the legendary Hanna-Barbera studio. The Hanna-Barbera Treasury celebrates the legacy of Bill Hanna and Joe Barbera through more than five decades of rare drawings, storyboards, concept art, and memorabilia from studio archives and private collections. It includes more than 24 removable artifacts and facsimile reproductions, as well as photographs, sketches, comic book covers, brochures, and posters. Vintage art, rare merchandising images, retro product packages, and archival newspaper and magazine ads transport the reader back in time to an era when a brave new medium invaded our living rooms to create a new art form: the prime-time family cartoon. In a world flooded by rapidly changing images, few are able to maintain the appeal that has defined the characters of Hanna-Barbera for more than 50 years. Since first joining forces as a pair of young animators, Bill Hanna and Joe Barbera won the hearts of more than three generations. The duo won seven Academy awards at MGM during the golden age of the Hollywood cartoon, and still, decades later, their best-loved characters, having made their debut in television`s early days, are household names. Today, it is not uncommon for three generations to share the joy of Hanna-Barbera`s creations, including such classics as Huckleberry Hound, Tom and Jerry, Scooby-Doo, Yogi Bear, The Flintstones, The Jetsons, Jonny Quest, Magilla Gorilla, Top Cat, and Space Ghost. Written by animation historian Jerry Beck, The Hanna-Barbera Treasury will be eagerly sought by those who grew up with these characters as well as a new generation of cartoon fans.
