Size guide
Our tees are a modern unisex retail fit — not the boxy fit of a classic heavyweight tee, and not slim either. Most people take their usual size. If you like a roomier, vintage look, size up one.
The reliable way to choose
Forget size letters and measure a t-shirt you already own and like the fit of. It takes a minute and it is far more accurate than guessing.
- Lay the shirt flat on a table, front up, and smooth out the wrinkles.
- Measure straight across from armpit to armpit. That is the chest width.
- Measure from the highest point of the shoulder straight down to the hem. That is the length.
- Compare those two numbers against the size chart on the product page and pick the closest match.
Chest width is the number that decides whether a shirt feels right. Length is worth a glance if you are tall or prefer to tuck.
Sizes we carry
XS through 4XL on most designs, and up to 5XL on some. The exact range and the full measurement chart appear on each product page, because they vary slightly by garment.
Between two sizes?
Go up. A tee that is slightly generous reads as intentional; one that is slightly tight never does. This is also the safer choice if the shirt is a gift.
Will it shrink?
Barely, if you treat it properly. Cold wash, inside out, tumble dry low. Hot water and a hot dryer will shrink almost any cotton tee and will shorten the life of the print.
Still unsure?
