Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky1840 – 1893

Tchaikovsky wrote the 1812 Overture in 1880 and admitted to his patron that he'd done it without warmth, and that it was probably loud and noisy. The score calls for cannons. It premiered in 1882 in a hall built for an exhibition, not outdoors. It is, in fairness, both loud and noisy.

how to measure

first things first: grab a shirt you already love the fit of, a measuring tape, and a flat surface. lay the shirt flat, smooth it out, and compare its measurements to the chart.

see the fit guide

length: from the highest point of the shoulder, where it meets the collar, straight down to the hem.
chest: straight across the shirt, 1" below the armholes, from side seam to side seam. it's measured flat, so double it to compare with your own chest.
sleeve: from the center back of the neck, over the shoulder point, to the end of the sleeve (to the end of the cuff on sweatshirts).

All measurements are of the garment laid flat, from our spec sheet. Allow a little tolerance either way.
