Size and Fit Guide

Our unisex t-shirts are printed on the Comfort Colors 1717, a heavyweight garment-dyed tee with a relaxed, slightly oversized cut. It runs true to size for that relaxed fit: if you wear a Medium in most unisex tees, order a Medium. For a closer fit go one size down; for fully oversized go up two. Our model wears a Medium for a relaxed fit and an XL for oversized.

Comfort Colors 1717 t-shirt size chart

Size Body width Body length Sleeve length
S 18 1/2 27 8
M 20 1/2 28 1/2 8 1/4
L 22 1/2 30 9
XL 24 1/2 31 1/2 9 1/2
2XL 26 1/2 32 3/4 9 3/4
3XL 28 33 9 3/4
4XL 30 34 10

Body width is measured flat, armpit to armpit. Body length is from the highest point of the shoulder to the bottom hem. Lay a tee you already love flat, measure it the same way, and match the numbers.

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 to it, so the shirt drapes rather than clings, and the garment-dyed finish gives it a broken-in feel from the first wear. 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.

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 tee look, size up one or two and knot or tuck it.
