How to Measure (Easy, We Promise)

  1. Grab your favorite tee. Pick the one that fits just right, then lay it flat and smooth it out without stretching it.
  2. Chest: Measure straight across from armpit to armpit, about 1 inch below the armholes.
  3. Length: Measure from the highest point of the shoulder, right next to the collar, straight down to the bottom hem.
  4. Compare: Match your numbers to the chart below. Chest is measured flat, which is about half of the all-the-way-around number.

Tip: Stuck between two sizes? Size up for a roomier fit.
