Size Guide
Every 43NB tee is made to order on a specific blank garment, and different styles fit differently — a Unisex Garment-Dyed tee and a Women's Boxy tee run nothing alike. Use this guide to find your fit, then double check against the specific size chart listed on the product page for your item.
How to Measure
The most accurate way to find your size is to compare against a shirt you already own and love the fit of. Lay it flat on a table and measure:
- Chest/Width: Measure straight across the shirt from armpit to armpit (this is a flat measurement, not wrapped around your body). Compare this number to the "Width" column below.
- Length: Measure from the highest point of the shoulder (next to the collar) straight down to the bottom hem. Compare this number to the "Length" column below.
- Sleeve: Measure from the shoulder seam to the end of the sleeve, where applicable.
If you're between sizes, we generally recommend sizing up for a more relaxed fit, or sizing down for a more fitted look.
Fit Notes
- Unisex styles are cut with extra room through the body and shoulders compared to a fitted women's tee. Many women order 1–2 sizes down from their usual size when choosing a unisex style for a more tailored look — or keep their regular size for an oversized, boyfriend-style fit.
- Women's-specific styles (relaxed, boxy, or ribbed-neck cuts below) are cut with a narrower shoulder and shorter body length, closer to a traditional women's fit.
- Garment-dyed and heavyweight cotton styles (like our Comfort Colors tees) tend to run slightly more true-to-size but with a boxier, relaxed silhouette by design — that's part of the vintage look, not a sizing issue.
