Size Guide for Men's T-Shirts

Short answer: Find your men's t-shirt size by measuring your chest at the widest point and comparing with the brand's chart. The chest measurement decides the size, while the fit decides how the t-shirt falls on the body.

How to Use a T-Shirt Size Guide

Measure around your chest at the widest point with your arms relaxed. Look the measurement up at the brand you want to buy, for example the size guide for JBS of Denmark men or the size guide for Resteröds. Another good check is to measure a t-shirt you are already happy with and compare the width.

Men's T-Shirt Sizes and Fit

Two t-shirts in the same size can sit completely differently if one is slim fit and the other regular. Bamboo viscose drapes heavier and softer than cotton and lies closer to the body, so a bamboo t-shirt can feel more close-fitting than a cotton one in the same size.

Watch Out for Shrinkage from the Wrong Wash

If you wash too hot, a t-shirt can shrink and suddenly feel a size smaller. Wash at 30 degrees and avoid the tumble dryer, and the size will hold. See the full range of bamboo t-shirts for men, and use the general size guide for bamboo clothing if you are in doubt.
