Women's Pilot Shirt Size Guide: How to Find Your Size and Fit

Finding your women's pilot shirt size at BomCrewMall starts with the US–Euro size selector at the top of the product page. Use a uniform or dress shirt that already fits as your reference. If you do not have one, select Not Sure and continue through the flow.

Size, fit, and length are separate decisions. When one part of a shirt is wrong, you adjust that part and keep the rest.

The 5-Question Framework

If you... Do this
Know your current women's shirt size
Select the matching US–Euro size
Have a letter size such as XS, S, M, L, or XL
Convert it with the chart below, then select the US–Euro size
Are unsure of your size
Select Not Sure
Need a size above US 20
Select Other and pick your size from the list that appears

The size selector sets the body of the shirt. Length, fit, and detail choices come later in the product flow.

Step 1: Start With a Shirt That Already Fits

A women's uniform or dress shirt that fits well is a better guide than memory. Check that your reference shirt has a collar that is comfortable when closed, shoulder seams that sit correctly, a chest that closes without pulling, and a torso that stays comfortable through a full duty day. A shirt that already fits badly leads to the wrong size, so choose a reference that fits correctly.

Step 2: Read the Label and Convert Your Size

Open the shirt that fits you well. The number printed on the label inside the collar is your size. Pick that number in the selector. Every size button shows the US and Euro numbers together.

Have a letter size instead? Letter sizing differs from brand to brand, so convert it here instead of matching letters from another brand.

When a letter size covers two numbers, pick the lower number if your current collar feels loose and the higher number if it feels snug. Above US 20, choose Other and pick your size from the list that appears.

Standard Fit also includes an optional Shirt/Jacket Size step, where you enter the size from a shirt or jacket you own to help BomCrewMall understand your size.

No Label? Measure the Collar

  1. Lay a shirt that fits flat on a bed.
  2. Measure from the center of the collar button to the far end of the buttonhole.
  3. That number in inches is your collar size. Compare it with the Size Guide.

No tape? Mark the length on a phone charging cable, then measure the cable against anything with a scale, or use a ruler app.

Still not sure? Choose Not Sure and check out normally. Both lines ask whether you have detailed measurements, so enter them if you have them, along with your height, weight, and current shirt fit. BomCrewMall also helps by call or text.

What If You Fall Between Sizes?

Standard shirts are sized by your collar, so the body gets bigger as the neck does. If your neck and body don't match the same size, the next step is:

Your situation Where to start
Neck and body measurements all match one standard size
Standard Fit
Collar fits, but the body billows like a parachute (larger neck, slimmer build)
Tailored
Collar fits but the body is tight, or the body fits but the collar is loose (smaller neck, fuller build)
Tailored
Measurements fall between sizes
Add a note describing it, then compare Standard Fit with Tailored
Chest fits but stomach does not
Tailored
Sleeves run short or long
Change your sleeve length selection first
You are unsure of your measurements
Select I DON'T KNOW or book a video consultation

Use the comments box on Standard Fit or the fit notes box on Tailored to explain what your current uniform does. If you're unsure how your shirt should sit, read our guide on how a women's pilot shirt should fit, or follow our pilot shirt measurement guide for help with measurements.

Sleeve Length and Shirt Tail Length

Height sets length. Each length option adjusts sleeve length and shirt tail length in proportion to your height, from Short up to Extra Tall. Fit and width stay the same, so changing length never changes how the shirt fits through the body. The current bands are shown in the length selector at checkout.

Tailored has two separate selections. For sleeve length, enter the length from a dress shirt you already wear, or select Not Sure and BomCrewMall estimates it from your height, weight, and fit details. Shirt tail length is chosen by height, with Not Sure available.

Standard Fit uses one length selection for sleeve and tail: Short, Regular, Long, Tall, or I Don't Know. A choice of long sleeve length follows it.

If the body fits but the sleeves run short or the shirt will not stay tucked, change these selections before you change your size.

Standard Fit or Tailored?

BomCrewMall sells two pilot shirt lines.

Standard sizing fits correctly
Standard sizing forces a compromise

Many pilots have only ever worn stock sizes, so a collar that is nearly right or extra fabric at the waist feels normal. It does not have to be. Tailored is cut to your neck, chest, stomach and hips together, so the shirt sits the way a uniform should.

Tailored also opens our premium fabrics. They have been refined over the years with feedback from the pilots who wear them, and fabrics such as Pegasus and Miami are available only in Tailored.

If a Standard Fit shirt already fits you well everywhere, it is a good choice. Choose a Tailored fit by how you want the shirt to sit, not by a description of your body type.

No More Tailor Visits

A custom pilot shirt made through BomCrewMall's Tailor Your Way process arrives already cut to you, so there is nothing to alter after buying. No tailor visits, no alteration bill, no waiting. For a pilot with only a few days at home, that time matters most.

Tailored Fit Options

Choose a fit by how you want the shirt to sit and feel while you wear it, not by a description of your body type.

  • Trim: A trimmer cut that is not tight.
  • Classic: Balanced and lightly tapered. A balanced starting point if you are unsure.
  • Comfort: Extra room through the torso and sleeves for a long duty day.
  • I Am Not Sure: Select it and BomCrewMall confirms your fit with you.

Women's Fit Refinements

These options sit on top of the women's cut in Tailored, and all default to skip:

  • Smaller collar for a more feminine look
  • Smaller pocket that still holds a pen
  • Front and back darts for added shaping
  • More buttons along the shirt length

The shirt is fully cut as a women's shirt without any of them. Tailored also lets you choose between a standard collar fit and a relaxed collar fit, which adds room at the neck.

Airline and Uniform Details

Airline selection is separate from your size and never changes it. For what airline choice does change, read Best Women's Pilot Shirts for Airline Uniforms

Both lines also include detail choices such as pocket shape, pocket flap style, inner sweat collar band, pen slot, and wing-pin spacing. These are uniform details, separate from your size.

Every BomCrewMall pilot shirt includes standard shoulder straps designed to accept commercial airline epaulettes. Epaulettes are sold separately. For fabric choices, see the Women's Pilot Shirt Fabric Guide.

Open a women's uniform or dress shirt that fits well. The number printed on the label inside the collar is your size. If you cannot name your size with confidence, select Not Sure.

Convert it with the letter size chart above. XS covers US 0–2, S covers 4–6, M covers 8–10, and L covers 12–14. XL, XXL, and 3XL are US 16, 18, and 20.

Select Not Sure and check out normally. Provide your height, weight, and current shirt fit where the form asks, or call or text BomCrewMall for help.

On Standard Fit, choose the torso and shoulder notes. On Tailored, describe it in the fit notes. Tailored also offers more fit choices if the mismatch repeats across shirts.

No. Size and fit are separate decisions. Tailored offers Trim, Classic, and Comfort, so you change how the shirt sits without changing the base size.

Change your length selection. Length adjusts sleeve and shirt tail while fit and width stay the same, so your size stays put.

For most pilots, yes. A Standard Fit shirt is built around one collar size, so the body is a best guess. Tailored is cut to your neck, chest, stomach and hips together, so it sits cleaner and looks sharper in uniform. Many pilots have only ever worn stock sizes and do not know a shirt cut to them is available. Tailored also opens our premium fabrics, refined over the years with feedback from pilots. If a Standard Fit shirt already fits you well everywhere, it is still a good choice.

No. A Tailored shirt arrives already cut to you, so there are no tailor visits and no alteration costs after you buy. You save the alteration bill and the time it takes to drop off, wait and collect. For a pilot with only a few days at home, that time matters most.

Yes. The product flow includes an I Have Ordered Before option, and BomCrewMall retains your measurements and preferences to make repeat orders easier.

The Short Version

  1. Open a women's shirt that fits you well and read the number on the collar label.
  2. Match it to the US–Euro selector, converting letter sizes with the chart.
  3. Select Not Sure when you are unsure.
  4. Fine-tune only what needs it: fit, collar, sleeve length, and shirt tail length.
