Hello,

I don't have any chances to try out our buy barba shirts locally, so I'll have to use online stores...but I noticed that the measurements seem kinda small for the various sizes.

I'm normally 40 and 41 in shirts like Eton, Eterna, etc. In Corneliani (Slim fit) I'm a 16.5 / 42, if anyone have tried either, or can relate to the sizes.

Do the Barba shirts tend to run very slim? Do you have to size up, and if so, how many sizes?

If you're looking at the measurements on shopthefinest.com, the measurements are accurate. Sizing up on dress shirts tend to not work because of the collar sizes. Yes, the body will fit but the collar won't.

Barba has a couple different fits. I find that even the slimmest fit is not all that slim. High armholes and trim sleeves, but a nice comfy fit if the measurements work for you.
