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

1. 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.

2. Body Length

   • Place the tape at the highest point of the shoulder (next to the collar).

   • Measure straight down to the bottom hem.

3. Shoulder Width

   • Measure across the top from one shoulder seam to the other.

4. Sleeve Length

   • Measure from the shoulder seam down to the end of the sleeve.

5. 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.
