How to Measure a T-Shirt Correctly Before Ordering Online
Buying a t-shirt online can be tricky if you’re not sure about your size. That’s why knowing how to measure a t-shirt properly is so important. At PrintJC, we want to make sure your t-shirt fits comfortably — whether it’s a Microfiber T-Shirt, a customized design, or a sport shirt for active wear.
Here’s a simple guide to help you measure a t-shirt at home.
What You’ll Need
-
A measuring tape (with inch and cm markings)
-
A flat surface (like a table or floor)
-
A t-shirt that already fits you well
Key Measurements for a T-Shirt
-
Chest Width
-
Lay the t-shirt flat.
-
Measure from armpit to armpit (straight across the chest).
-
Double this number to get the full chest size.
-
-
Body Length
-
Place the tape at the highest point of the shoulder (next to the collar).
-
Measure straight down to the bottom hem.
-
-
Shoulder Width
-
Measure across the top from one shoulder seam to the other.
-
-
Sleeve Length
-
Measure from the shoulder seam down to the end of the sleeve.
-
-
Neck Opening (optional)
-
Measure across the collar to check how wide the opening is.
-
These are the same measurements we use for our size charts, so you can compare your results and order your Microfiber T-Shirt or sport shirt with confidence.
Inches (") vs Centimeters (cm): What’s the Difference?
Many t-shirt size charts use inches (""), while some international brands (especially in Asia and Europe) use centimeters (cm).
-
1 inch = 2.54 cm
-
1 cm = 0.39 inch
For example:
-
A chest width of 20" = 50.8 cm
-
A body length of 28" = 71 cm
Tip: Always check which unit the size chart is using. At PrintJC, we provide both inch and cm measurements to make choosing the right customized t-shirt easier.
Pro Tips for Accurate Sizing

-
Always use a t-shirt that fits you well as a reference.
-
Don’t stretch the fabric while measuring — keep it flat.
-
If you’re between two sizes, go one size up for comfort, especially for sport shirts that need flexibility.
Why Measuring Matters
By checking your size before ordering, you’ll:
-
Avoid returns or exchanges
-
Save time and shipping costs
-
Get the perfect fit on the first try — whether it’s a Microfiber T-Shirt for daily wear or a customized sport shirt for your team
At PrintJC, we believe the right fit makes all the difference. Use this guide before placing your order to ensure your next customized Microfiber T-Shirt or sport shirt feels as good as it looks.
