    My shirt size is 41/16.

    Now what is the 41 and what is the 16?

    Like is the 41 Chest? Belly? Neck?

    I want to order something online but am unsure what size to choose from:

    I'm pretty sure it's 16" = Collar and 41" is chest:

    Having worked in men's clothing I can confirm that it's chest and neck size.

    Having worked in women's clothing, I can confirm that it's frowned upon.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    I've never seen a shirt with anything other than just a neck size given, and yes, 16" = 41cm, so it's just an imperial / metric representation of the same thing.
