I finally learned what those little numbers on shirts mean. Until a few days ago, I only understood S, M, L, XL, and XXL as shirt sizes, and I was mystified by numbers like 17 34-35. I knew that medium size fits me so I buy "M". If it had those weird numbers instead, I didn't buy those particular shirts because I didn't understand.

Finally I got frustrated and asked the salesperson at the clothes store. I didn't understand her explaination so I bugged her some more and finally I understood that the first number is the collar size. You put a tape measure around your neck and the number of inches is the collar size. The other two numbers, like 32-33 is the sleeve length in inches, and if there's two numbers like that with a dash in between, it's a range and either one is OK.
