title: Shoulder to elbow
---

The **shoulder to elbow** measurement runs from the tip of your shoulder down to your elbow.

To measure your **shoulder to elbow**, start at the tip of your shoulder,
the tip or corner of the protruding bone that is located where the
top of the shoulder meets the side of the arm.
It is also where the top of the shoulder seam sits and the sleeve begins
on a well-fitting dress shirt.
Follow your arm down to your elbow.
