Every product page carries the chart for that specific garment, because a size M is not the same across blanks. This page explains how to read those charts and how to measure yourself so you order the right size the first time.
We measure the garment, not the body
Our charts list flat garment measurements taken from a real sample — a shirt laid flat, measured across. We do not copy the manufacturer’s spec sheet. That means the numbers describe the item you will actually receive, including any variance from that specific blank.
How to measure
- Chest — take a shirt you already own and like the fit of, lay it flat, and measure from armpit to armpit. Compare that number to the chart. This is far more reliable than measuring your own chest.
- Length — from the highest point of the shoulder straight down to the hem.
- Sleeve — from the shoulder seam to the sleeve opening.
Between two sizes?
Size up. Print-on-demand garments are pre-shrunk but cotton still relaxes slightly after the first few washes, and a relaxed fit is easier to live with than a tight one.
Tolerance
Expect roughly half an inch of variance on any measurement. That is normal for cut-and-sew apparel and is not a defect. If an item is off by significantly more than that, it is a defect — email us and we will replace it at no cost.
Still unsure
Email [email protected] with the product name and the measurements of a shirt that fits you well. We will tell you which size to order. We would rather spend two minutes on that than process a return.
