From time memorial now the t-shirt has been making its way into the fashion world with statements, graphics and designs that speak to the masses and individuals alike.

To start with, no two companies make t-shirts the same. Their suppliers differ, their style differ and their manufacturing all have little things along the way that change the outcome of the t–shirt.

Below are an idea, guide and outline for you to follow to help get the right size first time round. Take your time looking at the charts and maybe even get out a tape measure… rule yourself up.

Although all of our tees are made with pre-shrunk cottons we always advise to cold wash and line dry just to avoid the small amount of shrink that inherently lies dormant in cotton. The same way the sock monster hides in the washing machine waiting to eat a sock leaving you with only one for the pair, the shrink friend will play tricks when you least expect.

These garments wash and wear very well, please check the sizing chart thoroughly to ascertain your exact fit before making a purchase. The sizing is pretty self-explanatory but it is always good to check and double check.
