Find Your Perfect Fit:
A Guide to find your Extender Button Sizes
Do you ever feel like your favorite shirt is just a little too snug around the neck? At COCHIC, we believe style should never come at the cost of comfort. That’s where our collar extenders come in – the discreet, elegant solution to enhance your fit without compromising your look.
But which size should you choose? Let us guide you through our button sizing options: 16L, 18L, 20L, and 24L.

Understanding Button Sizes
Collar button sizes are measured in ligne (L) – a traditional unit used in tailoring.
- Measure the collar button on your shirt with a caliper or ruler.
- Match the diameter to your available collar extender sizes (ex: if your collar button has a diameter of 11.5 mm → then choose extender for 18L).
And yes! We make your life easier!
Always note: the button size may vary even within the same brand depending on the style (e.g., casual vs formal).




Often found in luxury or European brands for men's shirts.
