Our gear is printed on a few different blanks, so fit varies a bit by product. The most reliable way to pick a size: grab a shirt or hoodie you already own and love the fit of, lay it flat, and compare its measurements to the chart below. When in doubt, size up for a relaxed fit or down for something closer to the body.
Adult T-Shirts
Most of our tees (Comfort Colors garment-dyed heavyweight) have a relaxed, true-to-size fit. Measurements are taken with the shirt laid flat, one inch below the armhole for chest width.
| Size | Chest Width | Length |
|---|---|---|
| S | 18 1/4" | 26 5/8" |
| M | 20 1/4" | 28" |
| L | 22" | 29 3/8" |
| XL | 24" | 30 3/4" |
| 2XL | 26" | 31 5/8" |
| 3XL | 27 3/4" | 32 1/2" |
Chest width is measured flat, so double it for the full chest circumference (a Large's 22" width means about 44" all the way around).
Tri-Blend Tees
Our tri-blend tees (like Colorblast Duck) run in a lighter, slightly more fitted athletic cut than the Comfort Colors tees above. If you like a relaxed fit, we'd recommend sizing up.
Hoodies
We use two hoodie styles, and they fit differently:
- Standard hoodies (most of the catalog): relaxed fit for easy layering — order your usual size.
- Box-style hoodies (drop-shoulder, boxy silhouette — noted as "oversized, relaxed fit" on the product page): cut intentionally larger and boxier. If you want a closer, less oversized look, consider sizing down one size from what you'd normally wear.
Both styles run up to 2XL, with select styles offering 3XL at a small upcharge.
Youth Tees
| Size | Chest Width | Length |
|---|---|---|
| YS | 15 1/4" | 20 7/8" |
| YM | 16 1/4" | 22 1/8" |
| YL | 17 1/4" | 23 3/8" |
| YXL | 18 1/4" | 24 3/8" |
Youth & Kids Hoodies
Our youth and kids hoodies run true to size with a comfortable, everyday fit — order your child's usual size.
Hats & Beanies
Trucker caps and snapbacks are adjustable, one-size-fits-most. Rope hats and beanies are also one-size, with a snug, stretch-knit fit.
