Measurements are in inches. Body width is measured flat, armpit to armpit. Body length is from the highest point of the shoulder to the bottom hem.
The most reliable way to choose
Lay a t-shirt you already love flat on a table. Measure across the chest from armpit to armpit, and from the top of the shoulder to the hem. Match those two numbers to the chart. This beats guessing from a letter size, because every brand cuts differently.
How the fit feels
Comfort Colors cuts a boxy, relaxed unisex shape with a slightly dropped shoulder. The 6.1 oz ring-spun cotton has real weight, so the shirt drapes and does not cling, and the garment-dyed finish gives it a broken-in feel from the first wear. Our model wears a Medium for a relaxed fit and an XL for oversized.
Sizing for women
These are unisex sizes. Most women take their usual size for a relaxed fit, or one size down for a closer fit. For the cropped, boxy look, size up one or two and knot or tuck it.
Will it shrink?
Expect minimal shrinkage if you wash cold and dry low. Hot water and high heat can take up to half an inch off the length.
