Bamboo T-Shirt for Men – Fit Guide

Short answer: A bamboo t-shirt for men should fit without squeezing: shoulder seam at the edge of your shoulder, sleeves halfway down your upper arm and length to the middle of your trouser fly. Get those three points right, and the soft bamboo fabric drapes nicely around your body instead of bagging or straining.

The three points the fit depends on

The shoulder: the seam should end exactly at the outermost point of your shoulder. The sleeve: it should end roughly halfway down your upper arm and follow your arm without sticking out. The length: the t-shirt should reach the middle of your trouser fly, so it neither bares your stomach nor looks like a dress. Check the styles under bamboo T-shirts for men.

How to choose your size in bamboo

Bamboo viscose is more elastic and drapes heavier than cotton, so the fabric follows your body more than you may be used to. If you are between two sizes, the choice depends on the look: the smaller one for a close-fitting expression, the larger one for a relaxed one. Use the size guide for bamboo clothing before you order.

Fit for different body types

Broad upper body: choose a regular fit, so the fabric does not strain across the chest. Slim build: a close-fitting style gives the most shape. A bit of a stomach: a regular fit in dark colours hangs best and does not cling. For training you can add a bamboo tank top, and the whole selection is under bamboo clothing for men.

Frequently asked questions

How should a bamboo t-shirt fit a man?

Shoulder seam at the edge of your shoulder, sleeves halfway down your upper arm and length to the middle of your trouser fly. Close to the body without squeezing.

Should I size up in bamboo t-shirts?

Not necessarily. Bamboo viscose is elastic and follows your body. Choose your normal size, and only size up if you want a looser look.

Do bamboo t-shirts shrink in the wash?

Washed correctly at 30 degrees and without a tumble dryer, they shrink minimally. High heat is the biggest cause of shrinkage.
