It is the most asked question when buying a new shirt: "Should I get the Slim Fit or the Regular Fit?" Choose wrong, and the buttons pinch or you drown in fabric. But what exactly is the difference and – more importantly – what suits you?

At Vercate, we don't believe in "one size fits all". That is why we offer our revolutionary Japanese Knitted Shirts in two perfect fits.

1. The Slim Fit: For Modern Lines

The Slim Fit is our most popular fit. It is tailored, meaning it is narrower at the waist than at the chest and shoulders.

• For whom? For men with a slim to average build.

• The Vercate Twist: Many men fear Slim Fit will be too tight. Our fabric features 4-Way Stretch. This ensures the shirt fits snugly (no "ballooning" at the back), but never feels like a straitjacket. You retain full freedom of movement.

2. The Regular Fit: Comfort and Space

The Regular Fit is cut straighter. It offers more room around the chest, waist, and arms, without looking like a shapeless sack.

• For whom? For men with a broader build, a larger size, or men who simply prefer a looser, classic fit.

• The Vercate Twist: Often, Regular Fit shirts are stiff and thick. Ours are made from the same breathable, knitted fabric. So you get the space you need, with the softness of a polo.

3. The 5-Centimetre Rule

Still in doubt? Do the test with your current shirt. Pull the fabric away at the side of your waist.

• Do you have more than 10 cm of excess fabric? Then your shirt is too big; try the Slim Fit.

• Is the fabric tight or are the buttons pulling? Then you need more room; choose the Regular Fit.

• The ideal fit is right in between: the fabric follows your body but doesn't stick.

Conclusion: Comfort in Every Shape

Whether you go for the sleek lines of Slim Fit or the relaxed space of Regular Fit: the foundation remains our premium quality. You don't have to compromise on comfort.
