How to measure a T-shirt correctly

It might seem that the topic of shirt sizes, measuring them and reading tables is a simple thing. However, from our years of experience we already know that the problems related to this topic have been, are and will probably always be with us. However, we will try again to explain a few points that should be made before ordering printed promotional clothing.

Take a measurement of your own figure to know what size garment to choose for yourself. Measure the width of your chest and the length of your back.
now measure the garment. Just remember to measure the garment flat, such as on a table. Measure for length and width. This way you will be able to choose the right size for you.
The overall length is measured from the highest point of joining the collar to the shoulder of the shirt, and the lower edge of the front.
width is measured from the seam connection points under the armpits. If the garment does not have it, the width is measured from the furthest edge of the fabric under the armpit.
each garment manufacturer informs about the margin of error of sizes up to +/- 2.5 cm.
We will also add from ourselves information about the shrinkage of the fabric after the first wash. Of course, such a situation may or may not occur. However, it is worth bearing in mind.
Remember that each clothing manufacturer has its own size chart. Let’s not buy shirts by “eye”.
