A comfortable shirt starts with the right fit. Use the measurements below as a guide, then follow the care instructions to keep your Fair Winds design looking shipshape.
How our shirts fit
Most Fair Winds tees use either the BELLA+CANVAS 3001 or Gildan Softstyle 64000, depending on available stock. Both are soft, unisex shirts with a modern retail fit. Choose your usual size for a closer fit or size up for a roomier fit.
Garment measurements are approximate. Width is measured straight across the chest while the shirt is laid flat. Length is measured from the highest point of the shoulder to the bottom hem.
| Size | Flat width | BELLA 3001 length | Gildan 64000 length | Recommended chest |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | 18″ | 28″ | 28″ | 34–37″ |
| M | 20″ | 29″ | 29¼″ | 38–41″ |
| L | 22″ | 30″ | 30¼″ | 42–45″ |
| XL | 24″ | 31″ | 31¼″ | 46–49″ |
| 2XL | 26″ | 32″ | 32½″ | 50–53″ |
| 3XL | 28″ | 33″ | 33½″ | 54–57″ |
How to measure your favorite shirt
- Lay a well-fitting shirt flat on a smooth surface.
- Measure across the chest about one inch below the armholes.
- Compare that flat width with the chart above.
- For length, measure from the highest shoulder point to the bottom hem.
Keep your shirt shipshape
- Turn the shirt inside out before washing.
- Machine wash cold with similar colors and mild detergent.
- Use a gentle cycle and avoid bleach.
- Tumble dry low or hang dry for the longest print life.
- Do not iron directly over the printed design.
- Do not dry clean.
