The Average/Athletic Hugh & Crye Man

While your height lies between short and tall, your build is muscular. If big-brand shirts suit your upper-body, they typically billow too much through my waist. If they suit your waist, your mighty shoulders and chest burst through their constraints. Amidst these frustrations, you call out for the perfect fit. Hugh & Crye has answered that call.

Model* above is James M. of Washington, DC.

• Height: 5'11"
• Weight: 200 lbs

* Our models are ordinary guys like us. All photos on our site are either friends of ours, or customers... or both, which is the way we like it.

Based on your unique build

Our Average/Athletic fit is for guys who have an average length torso and a more muscular upper-body. They need more room in the shoulders, chest, and arms, but still need a fitted shirt that tapers to their waist. Most Average/Athletic fit guys have two main problems with big-brand shirts. Either they find a shirt that fits their larger shoulders and chest, but it billows too much through the body and waist, or they find a shirt that fits better through the body, but pulls at the chest and shoulders.

Designed to be a perfect fit

Our Average/Athletic fit has an average length and larger V-shape than our Average/Slim with more room in the chest and wait, but less than in our Average/Broad fit. We use darts and slightly lower armholes to allow a larger drop from chest to waist that still looks fitted. Our Average/Athletic fit has the most dramatic V-shape with more room in the chest, shoulders, and body, while leaving no excess fabric to bunch or billow.

What other Average/Athletic guys are saying

David T. of Annandale, VA, says:

"Unlike most shirts that fit snugly if you are standing and moving, or billow if you are seated, Hugh & Crye has found a way to design a shirt that is comfortable and fits well as you move through your day."
