Many manufacturers on a shirt label instead of a general size indicate two numbers through a fraction sign, for example, 40/86. In this case, the number "40" denotes the neck girth, and the number "86" is the length of the sleeve. Knowing these two meanings, you can pick up a shirt even more accurately. And if you have already measured the neck of the neck, let's say "40", then the length of the sleeves is still treated:

1. Start directly and ask the helper to measure the distance from the speaker vertebra at the base of the neck to the shoulder joint. Record this reading, for example, 25 cm.
2. Now let the assistant with a centimeter locks the second length: from the shoulder joint until the middle of the bone, which is on the outside immediately in front of the brush. Write down and this indication, say, 61 cm.
3. Fold 25 cm and 61 cm. As a result, you will receive your sleeve length, which will be 86 cm.

And you can ask the seller to pick up your shirt with the symbol on the label 40/86.
