Guide and important information :
- Women’s sizes are based on bust size while Men’s sizes are based on chest size, These are technically different measurements however both aim to measure the fullest part of the chest area, For women this specifically includes the breasts at the fullest point.
- The measurements used in the sizing graph are based on body measurements NOT garment measurements, The chest measurement of the actual garment is typically larger by a few centimetres of around about 5-7cm to allow for movement (AKA so it’s not skin tight).
- Some of the shirts used are from different brands and may have different sizing scales compared with what you may be used to and with what is referenced in the chart EG. A Gildan medium size shirt translates to a small when compared with a common Australian retailer such as K-mart, A thorough attempt has been made to translate these sizes to a more accurate standard, If a shirt is sent with a different label on the tag to what is noted then you will be made aware of this before sending it out.
- A common clothing retailer in Australia is K-mart, I have included them as a reference for sizing within the chart to help you pick the right size, The ‘XX’ sizes will differ as K-mart has a larger ‘XX’ range up to 7XL whereas we only range to ‘4XL’.
- Shirt sizes are not directly tied to the values listed in the chart, They are merely references to classify different sizes, For example – If the chest measurement of size small is 96cm compared to K-mart’s size small of 94cm it does NOT mean a small shirt from us will be 2cm smaller than a small shirt from K-mart, It is just the interval we consider a size small shirt.
How to measure :
- Measure either your chest or bust all the way around at the largest/fullest point, Do this with either a tape measure or with string, If with string you can mark the length and measure against a ruler.
