As cotton is a natural fibre it is susceptible to shrinkage during the first few washes. A small allowance is made for this on collar size and sleeve length.
How to wash your shirts
The shirts should be washed by hand or machine washed no hotter than 40°C. You may spin or wring out but we do not recommend tumble drying.
How to Press
With a hot iron press the shirt while it is still damp. Special care should be taken to iron the collar away from the points. For dark colours iron on the inside of the collar to avoid fading.

How to measure your sleeve length
Measure from the middle of the back of the collar to the point of the shoulder, then with your arm slightly bent, measure down the outside of the arm to the length you want at the wrist. Once you have ordered a Harvie & Hudson shirt your sleeve length will be kept on record.
