Collar size leniency
I typically wear a 15.5” collar which fits snug - slightly on the tighter end. Found a very very very nice linen shirt but the collar is 16.5”. In THIS context is an inch a lot?

yes
maybe
put it on
I mean if you're gonna wear the shirt exclusively closed with like a tie or something maybe it matters, but if you plan to wear it with a few buttons open and the rest of the fit on the shirt is good then seems like it'd be fine?
as a guy who wears a lot of shirts, this. try it on, it could work but it could be v bad
Okay that sounds good, linen shirt will most be worn in summer definitely without a tie
It’s second hand online
Long sleeve too if that makes a difference
check the other measurements, the difference in the actual size of a 15.5 and 16.5 shirt is about M vs L in alpha sizing
Been looking at other measurements, it’s a slim fit shirt so hopefully that helps because I wanted a baggier look anyway
So then presumably the only thing noticeably off would be the the collar but I wouldn’t wear a tie with it so hopefully fine
Just compared sizes for their contemporary fit medium and slim fit large, aside from collar, chest and everything else is the same, sleeves are 3/4” longer which is hopefully fine
