Y’know what’s nice? When retailers list a few common size details about their models and the garments they’re wearing in pictures. Height, weight, size of the shirt or jacket, that kind of thing. So here we go with giving you guys similar information when it comes to shots of me (the Joe guy) wearing things you might want to invest in.
This site isn’t intended to be about me, but knowing some measurements of the guy who’s wearing the thing you’re thinking about buying is valuable. The good news is that I’m not too out of the norm.
NOTE: These measurements were updated on 3/2014, 3/2015, 11/2017, and once again on 8/2021. My body type has changed quite a bit over time. I was wiry in the early days, bulked up quite a bit from 2016 – 2019, and have since slimmed back down a touch. That’s all due to the gym and eating/dietary habits. So know that if you’re looking at older posts. Here’s what’s current:
The above are all tape measure figures, with some of those figures (neck, chest) having a little give as is usually the case when measuring those areas (the “leave two fingers of room” thing…) Many times (read: most) retail goods are off in terms of being true to size. Here’s what I normally wear off the rack:
Suit Jackets/Blazers: 40R.
Pants: 32 waist. 30 inseam.
Dress Shirts: 16.5″ neck, 33 sleeve.
Non neck & sleeve shirts (like t-shirts and polos): Medium or Large.

The Huck team is off on vacation. Which means their big winter clearance is very…
Brooks Brothers starts their winter clearance with an additional 25% off sale items.
Plus a Christmas album you probably haven't heard yet this year. Maybe.
With a focus on holiday events. It's their last sale before their shipping cutoff.
Style choices to make for those times when how you're perceived is critical.
