T-shirt size and fit guide

Inspired by the landscapes of the UAE — wear the wild side of it

Everything we make is cut unisex — one cut worn by everyone, in sizes S to XL, with no separate men's or women's version. Each t-shirt design comes in two fits, Regular and Oversized; the polo comes in one. 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

Classic regular fit to the US/international standard, with a 2″ chest step per size above M. The shoulder seam sits at your natural shoulder point.

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, so it does not simply wear like a size up.

How these are measured

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. It sits close to the body without being tight, and layers cleanly under a shacket or jacket. If you normally wear a medium in a high-street t-shirt, take a medium here.

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. If you are between sizes and want the relaxed look, size down rather than up — the oversized cut already adds width.

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?

Yes — every piece is cut unisex, S to XL, with no separate men's or women's version. 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.

Should I size up for the oversized fit?

No — the oversized cut already adds width and a dropped shoulder. If you are between sizes, size down for oversized and up for regular.

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.
