FlyingMonkey said: The first number (16) is the collar measurement in inches. The collar should fit around your neck when buttoned with enough room to stick two fingers in between neck and collar and no more. The second (32 / 33) is the length of the sleeve in inches. The sleeve should reach the base of the thumb.17 Jan 2014
What is a size 32 33?
When looking at dress shirt size the first number on the size tag refers to the neck size, the second number to the sleeve length. As an example a shirt marked “15 ½ 32/33” would mean the man wears a 15 ½ inch neck size and a 32 or 33 inch sleeve length.

Men's Shirts We measure our shirts the traditional way, using collar sizes, so you will see our shirts quoted in inches - 15" (small), 15.5" (medium), 16.5" (large) and 17.5" (extra large).
