Start with the right garment.

Use a T-shirt to compare with a T-shirt, and a sweatshirt to compare with a sweatshirt. Lay it on a flat surface without stretching it and smooth out the fabric.

Check what the chart measures.

Chest width measured across a flat garment is not the same number as the full chest circumference. A body measurement is different again. Confirm the measurement type and units on the relevant size chart before comparing numbers.

  • For a flat chest width, measure straight across at the chart’s indicated points.
  • For garment length, use the same starting and ending points shown in the chart.
  • Compare like with like: inches with inches, centimeters with centimeters, and garment measurements with garment measurements.

Think about how you want to wear it.

Compare with a garment that already gives you the amount of room you want. A model image can help you see the graphic, but it cannot reliably tell you which size to order without the model’s measurements and worn size.

Still unsure? Check before ordering.

Use the current store’s size chart ↗ and ask support if a measurement or garment type is unclear. Don’t assume the T-shirt and sweatshirt use the same measurements.
