Loading the 3D tee…

Stand where you have some floor space and good light. AR uses the camera on your phone (Chrome AR on Android, Apple AR Quick Look on iPhone). We never receive camera images. The tee is size M at real size, in cotton jersey, on a display stand. Fit shapes are sketches.

How Indian brands size tees

Our patterns are not made yet. These are other brands' public charts, so you can pick your usual size. Each table names its source.

Letters and shirt numbers

Some Indian brands, such as Basics Life, print the men's shirt number next to the letter. Basics Life uses these pairs:

Men: your body chest

Same size, different fit

The fit changes the tee, not your size. These are tee measurements, not body measurements. At size M, Basics Life's "T-shirts & polos" chart lists a 40 in chest and its "Relaxed fit T-shirts" chart lists 44 in, 1.75 in longer. Oversized tees are bigger again, with a dropped shoulder. We found no oversized chart with clear size labels, so we give no number.

US sizes

Men: US brands use the same letters. A third-party copy of Uniqlo's US chart lists M as 38–41 in body chest, close to the Indian M above. Women: see the US column in the bust table. Check each brand's own chart.

How to measure

  1. Your chest: put the tape round the fullest part of your chest, under the arms. Keep it level and snug, not tight.
  2. A tee you like: lay it flat and measure straight across, armpit to armpit. Double it. That is the tee's chest, so compare it with a tee's chest on a brand chart, not with a body chart.
  3. Between two sizes: take the larger one for room, the smaller one for a closer fit.
