Which size to order: measure a tee you already own

How to measure a tee: chest width and body length arrows on a white tee, with the Bella+Canvas 3001 size table

Measure a tee you already like, then match two numbers to the chart. That beats guessing from a letter size every time, because every brand's Medium is a different Medium.

Two numbers

  1. Lay a tee that fits the way you like flat on a table. Smooth it out.
  2. Width: measure straight across the chest, about 1 inch below the armholes, seam to seam.
  3. Length: measure from the highest point of the shoulder, right next to the collar, straight down to the bottom hem.

The chart

Every Stylesolen tee is a Bella+Canvas 3001. These are that blank's specifications, laid flat, in inches, with roughly 1 inch of tolerance either way. We sell S to 3XL.

Size Width Length
S 18 28
M 20 29
L 22 30
XL 24 31
2XL 26 32
3XL 28 33

Between sizes? Go up for a looser tee, down for a slimmer one. The 3001 is a retail fit, which means it is a little slimmer through the body than a boxy classic tee.

Why the size list changes when you pick a color

Our print partner stocks each color in a different set of sizes. White runs S to 3XL. Ash comes in S, L, XL, and 2XL. Heather Ice Blue runs S to XL. Natural comes in XL and 2XL, and Heather Prism Ice Blue in M and XL. On a product page, pick the color first and the size buttons update to what is actually available. The full list by color is on the size guide.

Keep the size you bought

Cotton shrinks in a hot dryer. Wash cold and dry low and the length stays close to the chart. If you dry hot, expect to lose up to an inch in length over time.
