Oversized fit: measure a tee you already own

Oversized is a cut, not a size. The same label can sit 4 cm wider on one shirt type than another, so the reliable method is to measure a shirt you already like and compare numbers.

Three measurements that matter

1. Chest — lay the shirt flat, measure pit to pit, double it.
2. Length — from the highest point of the shoulder to the hem.
3. Shoulder — seam to seam across the back.

What our numbers mean

Our Arrive Guide 240 and Arrive Guide 280 tees are cut oversized with a drop shoulder, so the shoulder seam sits below your natural shoulder line. If you normally wear M in a regular fit and want a neat look, take S. If you want the fit as photographed, take your normal size.

Between sizes

Go down for a closer fit, up for a relaxed one. Length changes less than chest between sizes, so if the shirt is only slightly short on you, sizing up will not fix the length much — the next shirt type up will.
