How to Measure Garment Width

Note: The measurements provided are for the garment, not the body.

To measure the width of a t-shirt, hoodie, shirt, or other top, follow these steps:

1. Lay the garment flat on a smooth, flat surface.
2. Half Chest - Measure across the front of the garment, from side-seam to side-seam, a few centimetres below where the sleeves join the body.
3. Length - Using a measuring tape, measure from the highest point on the shoulder straight down to the bottom hem of the t-shirt.

For pre-shrunk cotton-rich garments, allow 1-4% for further shrinkage. For cotton-rich and 100% cotton garments that are not pre-shrunk, allow 5-7% extra in the width for future shrinkage. This is especially important to consider for growing children. To minimise natural shrinkage, follow the care instructions on each garment carefully.

Please note that while we strive for accuracy, there may be a variance of 1-5% in our measurements
