What You Need to Measure Your T-Shirt

Before you can order a custom T-shirt, you first need to measure it. This guide will teach you how to take the necessary measurements.

To measure a T-shirt, you will need a ruler or tape measure and a piece of paper. First, measure the width of the T-shirt across the chest. Then, measure the length from the shoulder to the bottom of the T-shirt. Finally, measure the width of the sleeve at its widest point.

Once you have these measurements, you can use the size chart below to find your corresponding size.

How to Measure Chest

To measure the chest, wrap the tape measure around the fullest part of your chest and write down the measurement.

Make sure that the tape measure is snug but not too tight. You should be able to breathe easily when you're wearing the T-shirt.

How to Measure Shoulder Width

Now that you know how to take all other measurements, it's time to measure the shoulder width.

First, put the T-shirt on and find the seams on the shoulders. Then, using a measuring tape, measure from one seam to the other. Make sure to keep the tape parallel to the ground as you measure.

Length: From Top of Shoulder to Hem

To measure the length of your t-shirt from the top of the shoulder to the bottom hem, position a tape measure at one shoulder seam. Gently pull the tape down along your body and across the center of your chest, easing it until it reaches to your hip area. Then let go of tension and continue to measure down to the bottom hem of your t-shirt. This distance between two points is considered as ‘length’.

Sleeve Lengths for All Shirts

When measuring for shirt sleeve lengths, it is important to be precise. Depending on the cut of the shirt you are measuring, the sleeve length can vary. Measure the length of the sleeve from the shoulder seam down to the cuff of the shirt. If you are measuring a full-length sleeve, measure from seam to wrist. If you are measuring a short-sleeve one, measure from seam to mid-bicep and use exact measurements, as this will help ensure that you get the right fit for your garment. Once you have this measurement, compare it to a size chart to find your ideal fit.

Understanding T-Shirt Size Chart

When looking at a t-shirt size chart, there are usually two measurements you need to consider: chest width and body length. Chest width is measured in inches, while body length is measured from the shoulder down to the bottom hem. Both of these measurements are indicated on the size chart and will help you determine which size of a t-shirt would best fit you. It's also important to note that different brands may have different sizing standards, so be sure to double check the measurement of your desired t-shirt before purchase.
