for norshor, its all about the fit.

Finding your fit

Our size evaluation will only be as good as the measurements you provide. Please be accurate and precise. If you are unsure how to obtain these measurements, most seamstress/tailoring shops will provide this service free of charge for you.

We ask that you provide measurements for chest, height, waist, shoulder width, sleeve, arm length, and back length. We also ask that you provide your current weight. Measurements should be taken in inches while wearing a shirt and undershirt, or a medium weight sweater with undershirt.

Please keep in mind that every manufacturer uses different patterns, and a size 40 from one company could be a 38 or 42 from another.
