Creating your first shirt with our AI : armhole height measurement

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

Best practice

The armhole height is the distance of the opening between the sleeves and the body of the shirt. It must allow good freedom of movement while limiting excess fabric. Changing the armhole height also affects the whole upper part of the sleeve around the biceps.

Generally, trust the AI

Our AI is based on more than 10 years of experience and data from over 20 000 clients like you and is accurate for armhole height. If you adjust, do only ± 1 cm.

🔃 You have high or sloping shoulders

Remove 1 cm (high shoulders) or add 1 cm (sloping shoulders).

🥵 You favour comfort and get warm easily

Add 1 cm.

😎 You favour style and like slim sleeves

Remove 1 cm.

Compare with a shirt you already own

Pull the fabric slightly at top and bottom so that the seam is straight. Measure the full length without stopping at the seam. The armhole is hard to measure precisely.
