T-shirt sizes

[Kraig]

Okay... so I'm ordering some t-shirts from the net, but as we all know, I can't try this stuff on before I buy it.

I normally take a size large t-shirt with shirts from like Diesel, Energie, Seven, Puma, etc... Some t-shirts on occasian, I have taken a medium.

Those that work in the clothing industry - can you tell me if this is the standard size for a large?

Specs for a large:
WIDTH 22"
LENGTH 27"
WIDTH 56cm
LENGTH 68cm

Specs for a medium are:
WIDTH 20"
LENGTH 26"
WIDTH 51cm
LENGTH 66cm

I ordered a couple L - shirts over the net a couple months back and they fit perfectly.Those measurements look pretty right to me.

if your ordering from the states their t-shirt sizes are larger.

my advice is to pm haze!

Those measurements for the large are a couple points off. However I can see the Medium maybe being too small.

I'd say go for the large.

or better yet, get someone to measure you and then match those measurements to the closest size.

Just measure one of your other tees, or yourself.
To be honest, as someone in the industry, there is no real "standard". Companies generally take it upon themselves to decide on their own sizing, regardless of what a m or l "should" be sized like.

For example, in our warehouse, of our three best-selling tshirts, two fit the same, and one fits a full size+ smaller than others. It's ridiculous, but it's the way it is, there isn't always a lot of consistency in the clothing industry since each company has their own idea of how a tshirt should fit.

If it comes to guessing go for the size a lill bigger. If its a bit too big wash it in hot/warm water and throw it in the dryer right away!!! It works every time :D

Generally speaking a large is 42 - 44 and a medium is 38 - 40 (chest that is) however different brands may fit differently... Hope that helps!
