How to Measure a Shirt You Already Own
The easiest way to find your size: lay a shirt you love flat and measure these three dimensions.
Chest Width
Lay the shirt flat. Measure straight across from armhole to armhole, 1 inch below the armhole seams.
Body Length
From the highest point of the shoulder (next to the collar), measure straight down to the bottom hem.
Sleeve Length
From the center of the back neck, measure down the shoulder and along the outer edge of the sleeve to the cuff.
Different Brands, Different Fits
Every brand cuts their garments differently. Here's how the styles above compare:
Classic / Boxy Fit
Gildan 5000, Gildan 18500. Traditional American cut with a relaxed, straight silhouette through the body. True to size. Best for comfort and a timeless look.
Modern / Retail Fit
Gildan 64000, Bella+Canvas 3001. Slightly slimmer than classic, with side seams for a cleaner silhouette. True to size. Best for a contemporary, fashion-forward look.
Premium / Fitted
Next Level 3600, Lane Seven LS14004. Slimmer through the chest and waist. True to size for men; women may want to size up. Best for a tailored, retail-quality look.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose the right size?
Pick a shirt you already own and love the fit of. Lay it flat and measure the chest (1 inch below the armholes) and the length (shoulder to hem). Compare those numbers to the size chart for your chosen style to find the best match.
Do shirts shrink after washing?
Cotton-based shirts can shrink 3 to 5 percent after the first wash, especially in length. If you're between sizes or prefer a relaxed fit, we recommend sizing up. Wash in cold water and tumble dry on low to minimize shrinkage. Shrinkage after washing is normal and not covered under our return policy.
What if I'm between sizes?
For classic fits like Gildan 5000 or Gildan 64000, size up if you prefer a relaxed look. For modern fits like Bella+Canvas 3001 or Next Level 3600, the fit is slightly slimmer, so sizing up gives a more standard look.
Are these unisex sizes?
Yes. All sizes listed are unisex/adult sizes. Women typically size down one size from their usual men's fit, or go with their standard size for a more relaxed look. Women's-specific styles have their own size charts.
Why do different brands have different sizes?
Each brand designs its own fit. A Gildan 5000 Large is boxier than a Bella+Canvas 3001 Large, even though both are labeled Large. That's why we show the actual chest and length measurements for every style—always check the specific chart for the product you're ordering.
Can I order a sample before committing to a bulk order?
Yes. For bulk orders, we recommend ordering a single blank sample first to confirm fit before placing a large order. Contact our team at print@rapidssp.com or (800) 735-4304 to arrange a sample.
What if my size isn't listed?
Many styles offer extended sizes (3XL–5XL) in select colors. If you need a size not shown on the chart, contact our team—we'll check availability for your specific product and color.
Do you offer size charts for other products?
Yes. This page shows our most popular styles. For size charts on other products including polos, hats, bags, and women's and youth styles, please contact us or visit the specific product page on our site.
