How to choose the size of your t-shirt?

MEASUREMENTS YOU NEED TO KNOW WHEN CHOOSING A T-SHIRT

If you want to buy a t-shirt without being able to try it on, it is good to have your measurements on hand to be sure you make the right choice.

Once you know them, getting it wrong becomes almost impossible.

Take your measuring tapes!

Here's a tip that will make your life easier: if you already have a t-shirt that suits you perfectly, you can use it as a standard for all your other purchases.

I advise you to watch this video that Tom created for you, it's all there!

Let's recap now.

MEASUREMENT A: SHOULDER TO SHOULDER WIDTH

We measure the distance between the two shoulder seams, not following the shape of the garment. (This measurement is not necessarily indicated on the size tables of the different e-shops).

MEASUREMENT B: ARMIT-TO-ARMIT WIDTH

We start from the armpit seam to join its opposite.

This measurement will always appear on the conversion tables of the different e-shops.

MEASUREMENT C: T-SHIRT LENGTH

Find the middle of the shoulder, bring the ribbon down parallel to the edge of the t-shirt, and finish at the bottom.

This measurement will always appear on the conversion tables of the different e-shops.

So.

If you don't have the right size piece on hand...no worries! Here's how to take your measurements...

HOW TO TAKE MEASURES ?

CHEST SIZE

To get your bust measurement, pass the measuring tape around the most prominent part of your chest.

This measurement is equivalent to the armpit-to-armpit width (Measurement B, see above) multiplied by two.

BACK LENGTH

Back length is the measurement from the end of your neck (from the bone) to the tailbone. The length of a shirt can be equivalent to your back length (casual shirt) or longer (formal shirt, intended to be tucked into your pants).

That's all you'll need to choose your ready-to-wear size.

Now let's look at the size and conversion tables by country.

Tip: If you are not sure of yourself, do not hesitate to contact the e-shop from which you wish to order to give them your measurements!

THE DETAILS THAT SHOW YOU WHEN A T-SHIRT IS THE RIGHT SIZE (AND OTHER TIPS)

When trying on pants in store, pay attention to the following points to make sure they fit you like a glove:

1. The sleeve seams are positioned on the shoulder,
2. The slightly flared collar hits almost the collarbone,
3. The sleeves stop at the biceps, not at the elbow,
4. Your pectorals are very lightly molded, without too many folds,
5. The lines of the t-shirt should follow your sides,
6. Your t-shirt stops below the belt, without hugging your stomach.
