Linen Shirt Size Guide for Men — How to Choose the Right PP Fit

Linen shirt size guide for men — how to measure, the PP size range, the exchange reassurance.

Pieter Petros July 2026 5 min read Men's Linen

The PP size guide for men's linen shirts uses chest measurement as the primary sizing reference — the most important single measurement for finding the correct PP shirt fit. Understanding how to measure correctly and how PP sizing translates into the fit registers the collection offers eliminates the most common pre-purchase uncertainty.

How to measure your chest. Stand naturally with arms at the sides. Place a soft tape measure around the fullest part of the chest — typically across the nipple line — and keep the tape horizontal and snug but not tight. The measurement in centimetres is the reference for PP shirt sizing. Take the measurement twice for accuracy.

“If the size is not right, PP's exchange service collects the garment and delivers the correct size. This removes the principal risk of online linen shirt sizing — order your measured size and exchange if needed.”

— Pieter Petros, founder

The PP size range. PP men's linen shirts are available in sizes S through XXL, with the chest measurement range varying by shirt style. The size guide on each individual product page at pieterpetros.com provides the specific chest measurement range for each size — always refer to the live product page rather than general sizing guidelines, as linen shirts in different weights and constructions can vary.

The fit philosophy. PP linen shirts are cut with a specific ease at the chest, body, and sleeve — enough room for comfortable movement without being loose. The collection is not cut in a slim-fit style; the proportions allow the natural drape of the Belgian linen to work correctly. If you are between sizes, PP's exchange service allows you to try the size and exchange free of charge if the fit is not correct.

The exchange reassurance. If the size is not right, PP's exchange service collects the garment and delivers the correct size. This removes the principal risk of online linen shirt sizing — the uncertainty of whether a size will work on the body. Order your measured size and exchange if needed.

For the oversized fit. The PP HER shirts are designed in a loose, oversized fit based on men's proportions and are sized by bust measurement. The oversized fit is the designed configuration, not a standard shirt scaled up.
