OLYMP size chart - the fits in comparison
OLYMP Shirts Size Measuring. To compare the differences between the OLYMP fits in terms of bust size (chest circumference), waist (circumference narrowest part of the stomach) and back width (left to right shoulder seam), we have compared the measurements of the OLYMP collections in each shirt size in the following table.

To do this, place a tape measure loosely around your neck at the level of your Adam's apple to determine your neck circumference. (2) Now determine your bust size: to do this, place a tape measure at the widest part of your chest and measure your torso circumference there. (3) Now measure your waist size: to do this, place a tape measure at the thinnest part of your belly and measure your waist circumference there. Now, to determine the fit for your shirt, find your collar size in the table below. Then compare your measured chest and waist circumference with the specifications for the 4 OLYMP collections and choose the one that fits best.

OLYMP and Gerard Butler
OLYMP has teamed up with none other than Gerard Butler. Many people know the actor Gerard Butler from movies like "300", "Olympus has fallen", "London has fallen" or "Angel has fallen". He is a very famous actor who is actually always in good movies. In the spring of 2020, OLYMP owner Mark Bezner wanted to take a completely different approach and elevate OLYMP to a strategic, higher level. The brand was to stand for certainty, straightforwardness and the high standards we set for ourselves. This attitude is reflected by the world-renowned Scotsman Gerard Butler as an actor and in real life. And that is why Gerard Butler has become the new face of OLYMP.
The family business Olymp Bezner KG
The OLYMP brand is part of the family business OLYMP Bezner KG. The headquarters are located in Bietigheim-Bissingen, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The company specializes in the production of men's clothing, which is sold under the brands OLYMP, OLYMP Signature and the private label Marvelis (also available here in our store).Buy OLYMP shirts online.
The company is the market leader, and this is interesting because it is a relatively young company. OLYMP Bezner KG was founded in 1951 by the textile entrepreneur Eugen Bezner. Unfortunately, he was not able to run his company for too long, as he died suddenly in 1960, much too early, at the age of 59.
Eugen Bezner founded the company after returning from war captivity. He had only six employees, who worked in the laundry room of his house. Initially, existing military materials such as parachutes were used to make OLYMP clothing. Sales of the manufactured garments increased rapidly due to high quality and demand, so Bezner, the entrepreneur, soon saw an opportunity for expansion. As sales increased, so did the number of employees, especially seamstresses, and soon the company was able to move into its first production facility in Großingersheim (Ludwigsburg County) and expand continuously.
After Eugen Bezner's sudden death, his son Eberhard took over the management of the now medium-sized company at the age of 25. Finally, in 1990, Eberhard's son and grandson of the company's founder Eugen Mark Bezner (born in 1963) also joined the company. In 2010, Mark Bezner officially assumed the role as CEO of the company and Eberhard Bezner took over as Chairman of the Advisory Board of OLYMP Bezner KG.Under the inspiration of father and son, OLYMP Bezner KG has been able to steadily expand its brand awareness and thus achieve fabulous growth.The company is still owned by the Bezner family.
In addition to the well-known OLYMP shirts, the brand has expanded its product range step by step and today also produces high-quality men's sweaters, polo shirts, T-shirts and men's accessories under the brand name "OLYMP". The positioning of OLYMP shirts is in the mid to upper price segment for high quality men's shirts. With the new OLYMP Signature brand launched in 2017, OLYMP now also offers its own premium shirt collection aimed at a clientele with the highest demands.
