Hi,
I just completed my first set of measurements for a shirt to be sent to Jentzen. I measured all the values fine, except a quick question regarding sleeve length. I usually buy 32/33 shirts OTR and when I went to get a shirt shortened by a tailor he said my sleeve length is 33/34. When measuring using the instructions from the Jantzen site, the actual measurement with the tape came out to 34" which is too long on the OTR.

I measured center of the neck to shoulder seam and then added shoulder seam to the end of the shirt cuff.

For Jantzen purposes should I rely on my tailors and OTR measurement (32.5 - 33") or what I measured myself (34").

Thanks!

I've never ordered from Jantzen, but I would say use your own measurement. Worst case scenario, is the sleeves are a little long and you can have to have them shortened by a local tailor.
