shirt sizing conventions
If a shirt is sized “16-2”, what does the 2 indicate? I the standard sizing convention is collar size then sleeve length, but I can’t figure out what the second number here means.
In case it’s helpful context, the sizing is on the tag of a brooks bros OCBD.

do you have a picture?
oh I see....interesting
I also found some pics of 16-2/3


It’s the sleeve length
16-2 is 16-32
Ahh, got it thanks. I probably shoulda guessed.
