T-shirt Size Chart India: Men, Women, Oversized and Kids (Inches and cm)

S, M and L are only labels. Two brands can both print “L” on the neck and differ by two inches at the chest, which is why the size chart matters more than the letter. This page gives the measurements we cut and stock at Merch Factory, in inches and centimetres, so you can pick a size for yourself or publish an accurate chart on your own store.

Regular fit T-shirt size chart (men and women)

This chart applies to our 180 GSM half sleeve round neck T-shirt and the 220 GSM polo. The round neck is a unisex cut, so the men's and women's listings share it.

Oversized T-shirt size chart (dropshoulder)

Oversized T-shirts are cut wider at the chest and shoulder, and the shoulder seam sits down the arm instead of on the shoulder bone. This chart applies to our 220 GSM and 240 GSM dropshoulder T-shirts, including the acid wash version. They are unisex.

See the garments: 220 GSM oversized T-shirt, 240 GSM oversized T-shirt and 240 GSM acid wash oversized T-shirt. For the difference between the fabrics, read our T-shirt fabric and GSM guide.

Regular vs oversized: the same label is a different size

An oversized M is not a regular M with a looser name. In our charts it is 4 inches wider at the chest and 3.5 inches wider at the shoulder.

So buy your usual label in an oversized T-shirt if you want the intended baggy look. Go one size down only if you want it closer to a regular fit, and check the length first, because length changes much less than width between sizes.

Kids T-shirt size chart by age

Kids sizes are sold by age. Children of the same age vary a lot, so measure the chest of a T-shirt that fits the child now and match that instead of relying on age alone.

Hoodie and sweatshirt size chart

Regular fit hoodies and sweatshirts (320 GSM) follow the regular T-shirt chest sizes with long sleeves:

The 440 GSM dropshoulder oversized hoodie is wider and shorter, for a boxy fit:

How to measure a T-shirt at home

The most reliable way to pick a size is to measure a T-shirt you already own and like, then match it to the chart.

1. Lay it flat on a table or bed, front side up, and smooth out the wrinkles without stretching it.
2. Chest: measure straight across from one armpit seam to the other, then double the number. 20 inches across is a 40 inch chest, which is M in the regular chart.
3. Length: measure from the highest point of the shoulder, next to the collar, straight down to the bottom hem.
4. Shoulder: measure straight across from one shoulder seam to the other.
5. Sleeve: measure from the shoulder seam down to the end of the sleeve.

If you only have a body measurement, wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest and add 2 to 4 inches of room for a regular fit. A 38 inch chest is usually comfortable in a 40 to 42 inch T-shirt.

Inches to centimetres

One inch is 2.54 cm. Common chest sizes converted:

If you run a clothing brand: your size chart cuts returns

A wrong size is one of the most common reasons a customer asks for an exchange. A clear chart on every product page costs nothing and prevents many of them.

• Show the chart on the product page, not only in a separate link, and give both inches and centimetres.
• Say which fit it is. Write “oversized, buy your usual size” or “regular fit” next to the size selector.
• Add one real example: “Model is 5 ft 9 in, chest 38 in, wearing M.”
• Use the supplier's numbers. Do not copy a chart from another brand; cuts differ.
• Order a sample in your own size and check it against the chart before you launch.

When you publish a product to your store from Merch Factory, its size chart is included, and every product page in our catalogue shows the chart for that garment. For more on what failed deliveries and returns cost, read how to reduce RTO on COD orders.
