T-Shirt Size Guide — Regular & Oversized Fit

Our t-shirts are cut unisex — one cut worn by everyone, in sizes S to XL, with no separate men's or women's version — and each design comes in two fits, Regular and Oversized. The polo is a men's cut, S to XL, in one fit. Every figure below is a garment measurement taken flat, not a body measurement, and comes straight from the graded specification our manufacturer produced against. Both inches and centimetres are shown.

Measurements

Regular fit

A straight regular fit with a 2″ chest step per size above M. The shoulder seam sits at your natural shoulder point. Measure a shirt you like flat, pit to pit, and match the number.

Size	Chest	Length	Shoulder	Sleeve
S	19″ / 48.3 cm	27.5″ / 69.8 cm	17″ / 43.2 cm	7.5″ / 19.1 cm
M	20″ / 50.8 cm	28.5″ / 72.4 cm	18″ / 45.7 cm	8″ / 20.3 cm
L	22″ / 55.9 cm	29.5″ / 74.9 cm	19″ / 48.3 cm	8.5″ / 21.6 cm
XL	24″ / 61 cm	30.5″ / 77.5 cm	20″ / 50.8 cm	9″ / 22.9 cm

Oversized fit

A true drop-shoulder oversized cut — the shoulder seam sits 2–3″ below the natural shoulder point. Width, not length, is what creates the silhouette.

Size	Chest	Length	Shoulder	Sleeve
S	22.5″ / 57.1 cm	27.5″ / 69.8 cm	21″ / 53.3 cm	9″ / 22.9 cm

L	25″ / 63.5 cm	29.5″ / 74.9 cm	23.5″ / 59.7 cm	10″ / 25.4 cm
XL	26.5″ / 67.3 cm	30.5″ / 77.5 cm	25″ / 63.5 cm	10.5″ / 26.7 cm

How these are measured

Chest — garment laid flat, measured straight across from armhole seam to armhole seam (pit‑to‑pit), 1″ below the armhole.
Length — from the highest point of the shoulder, at the collar seam, straight down to the bottom hem.
Shoulder — seam to seam across the back, between the shoulder seam points.
Sleeve — from the shoulder seam to the sleeve opening edge.

Tolerance is ±0.5″ (±1.3 cm) on every measurement. Garments outside that are rejected at QC.

Regular or oversized?

Regular is a classic straight cut with the shoulder seam at your natural shoulder, and it layers cleanly under a shacket or jacket. Check your size in the chart before you order: measure a shirt you like flat, pit to pit, and match the number.

Oversized is a deliberately wider cut with a dropped shoulder and more room through the body. It is designed to be worn on its own rather than layered. The oversized cut already adds width, so compare the chart rather than going by the letter.

How to find your size without guessing

The most reliable method is to measure a t-shirt you already own and like the fit of.

Lay it flat on a table and smooth out the wrinkles. Measure the chest straight across, from one armpit seam to the other — that is the flat chest measurement, and it is the number to compare against the tables above. Then measure the length from the highest point of the shoulder straight down to the hem.

Match those two numbers to the closest size in the table. If you fall between two sizes, go up for the Regular fit and down for the Oversized.

Frequently asked questions

Are these unisex?

The t-shirts are: every tee is cut unisex, S to XL, with no separate men's or women's version. The polo is a men's cut. Because the tables above give the garment measured flat rather than a body size, measure a t-shirt you already like the fit of and match the numbers. Sizing down gives a closer fit, sizing up a more relaxed one — same garment either way.

How do I measure my t-shirt size?

Lay a t-shirt you already own flat, measure straight across from armpit seam to armpit seam for the flat chest measurement, then from the top of the shoulder down to the hem for length. Compare both to the tables above.

How do I pick my size?

Use the size chart. Measure a t-shirt you already like flat, armpit to armpit, and pick the size with the closest number. The oversized cut already adds width and a dropped shoulder, so compare the numbers rather than the letter.

Are exchanges free?

Yes, within the UAE, within 14 days of delivery and subject to stock, as long as the item is unworn, unwashed and still has tags.
