The Fitted style pilot shirt is slimmer throughout the shoulders, arms, chest and belly. Don’t assume that you need the Fitted because you are tired of oversized uniform shirts. Broad shouldered customers commonly find the Fitted to be too narrow. Our Tapered pilot shirt is well thought out and is the top seller. The chart guidance comes from 2500 customers and the size/style they have determined works best for them. They are accurate for more than 90% of our customers. If you find yourself on the border, consider your personal fit preference.

The Tapered style is the most popular for a reason. It offers a little extra fabric in the right places for ease of movement but not so much as to look sloppy or cause uncomfortable bunching. While this style works for many, the Relaxed style serves a good portion of our customers as well.

While this style began as the big catch all, customer feedback over the years has allowed us to perfect this style down to the point where it works well and is the style choice for about 20% of our customers. The Relaxed style is still not as generous as some of the huge shirts out on the market. That said, we rarely see returns because it is not big enough. Some customers need this style because of particularly broad shoulders.
