Size Guide
Every garment we print is a Gildan blank. These are the published measurements for each style we carry, so you can compare them against a shirt or hoodie you already own before ordering.

How to Measure
Length
From the top of the collar (high point shoulder) straight down to the bottom hem.
Width
Laid flat, across the chest 1" below the armholes. Double it for the full garment chest.
Sleeve
From the center back of the collar to the end of the cuff. Applies to long sleeve and hoodie styles.
Choosing Your Size
- Measure a garment you already like instead of your body: lay it flat and compare width first, then length.
- Between two sizes? Size up. Printed areas feel a touch stiffer than bare fabric on a snug fit.
- Hoodies are cut roomier than tees at the same size, so if a Large tee fits you well, a Medium hoodie will feel similar.
- The chest-to-fit range is the wearer's own chest measurement taken around the fullest part. If you land at the top of a range, the smaller size gives a closer fit.
- Youth styles are kids' sizing and only run S through XL. Compare their flat width against a shirt they already wear.
- Wash cold and tumble dry low. Preshrunk cotton can still move up to 1" over the first few washes.
