I am looking to purchase a narrow shirt from A.P.C. but was hoping to get some advice on the sizing. I have a neck size of 14.5-15 and a sleeve size of 33-34, would that be best suited to a size 1/2/3/4? Thanks.

I think a size 1 would do.

I have an APC white shirt in this size that I will sell on ebay next week. It's being laundered now, otherwise I would measure it.

hmm, they are out of a size 1...

i thought since its a narrow fit, that maybe a size 2 would be fine?

I just received an A.P.C Narrow Shirt from their Spring '08 collection. I usually take a M in most shirts, but I ordered a large and glad I did. It fits me just right.

shoulder to shoulder 17 & 1/2"

pit to pit 20"

Sleeves from top of shoulder - down 26"

Don't mean for this to make things more confusing, but I have a few different APC pieces (both regular and their summer Madras line) and noticed their sizing can be a bit random at times. I have the same neck size as the OP and wear 32-33 sleeves (a Small in most brands) but often buy size M and L at APC.

to further add to the confusion..

my ideal shirt is a 40" chest and 17-17.5" shoulder and I've tried on size Small APC shirts that fit with those specs
