Creating your first shirt with our AI : sleeve length

You are creating your first LE CHEMISEUR® shirt with our AI and would like to check the sleeve length? This page is for you.

How the sleeve should fit

Standing, arms relaxed and with the cuff button open, the sleeve ends about 3 cm above the base of your thumb.

Trust the AI

Because height is such a good predictor, we generally recommend trusting the AI for this measurement. Of course, you can add or subtract 1 cm according to personal preference. Some professions call for special adjustments – doctors, for example, sometimes choose slightly shorter sleeves to avoid contamination.

👕 Special case : short-sleeve shirts

If you want a short-sleeve shirt, go to **Personalise › Cuffs **and select “Short Sleeves”. The AI will calculate the correct sleeve length for your build. You can also give us an exact length here if you like (for example 24 cm).

Compare with a shirt you already own

Lay the sleeve flat and measure from the end of the cuff to the seam where it meets the shoulder. French cuffs should be folded, as when worn. Most ready-to-wear shirts have sleeves around 64 cm long.
