How Canali fits
| Category | Runs | Shape | Length | Size advice | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shirts & overshirts | slightly small | tapered Italian body with a shaped waist and a fairly high armhole; sizing given in collar centimetres | regular tuck-in length with sleeves that can run long on shorter arms | Go up a collar size if you prefer a looser body or want room to layer, as the cut is noticeably trimmer than most US dress shirts. | medium |
| Trousers & pants | slightly small | clean, flat-front cut with a mid rise and a trim seat and thigh | typically long or unfinished, expected to be hemmed by a tailor | Many find the labelled waist measures a touch small, so if you are between sizes take the larger and have it taken in. | medium |
| Jackets | slightly small | soft-construction Italian blazer shape with light shoulder padding, a defined waist and clean chest; the unstructured Kei line reads even softer and closer to the body | standard to slightly short body length with sleeves that often need lengthening rather than shortening on taller wearers | Order your usual tailored size and budget for alterations, but size up if you are muscular through the chest or plan to wear heavier knitwear underneath. | medium |
| T-shirts & graphic tees | slightly small | neat, close-to-body knit or jersey cut rather than boxy streetwear proportions | regular, sitting around the belt | Size up one if you want a relaxed drape, since the Italian knit sizing is cut fairly narrow. | low |
Does Canali run big or small?
Canali fits slightly small. Take your usual Italian size (EU 50 ≈ US 40) but consider going up one if you have an athletic chest or broad shoulders, or if you are used to a fuller American cut. Shoppers generally find Canali cut on the trim side of true to size — a soft-shouldered Italian silhouette that fits most men at their normal tailored size but feels snug in the chest, waist and seat for anyone coming from roomier American or British labels.
