How our sizing works
Our garments run true to the chart below, not to generic Indian sizing. Measure a t-shirt you already own and like, lay it flat, and match the chest measurement — that is more reliable than measuring your body.
Unisex round-neck t-shirt
| Size | Chest (in, flat × 2) | Length (in) | Shoulder (in) |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | 36 | 26.5 | 16.5 |
| M | 38 | 27.5 | 17.5 |
| L | 40 | 28.5 | 18.5 |
| XL | 42 | 29.5 | 19.5 |
| 2XL | 44 | 30.5 | 20.5 |
| 3XL | 46 | 31.5 | 21.5 |
Polo t-shirt
Polos run one size closer to the body than round-necks. If you are between sizes, or want it worn over a vest for a parade or a reunion, size up.
Oversized tee
Cut with a dropped shoulder and a wider body. Order your normal size for an oversized look; size down if you want it merely relaxed.
Women's fit
Women's tees are cut with a shorter body and a tapered waist. Crop tops run short by design — check the length column before ordering.
Ordering sizes for a group
For a batch, unit or club order we send this chart plus a collection sheet for your coordinator, so every member picks their own size. Pieces come back packed size-wise and name-labelled on request. On runs over 100 pieces we recommend one physical sample first — custom-printed pieces cannot be exchanged for size. See Bulk & Group Orders.
Care
- Machine wash cold, inside out, with like colours.
- Do not bleach. Do not iron directly on the print.
- Line dry in shade — direct sun fades both fabric and print.
- Dry-fit: no fabric softener. It clogs the wicking.
