Oversized T-Shirt Size Chart: How to Pick the Right Size

An oversized t-shirt is meant to look big, but there is a fine line between roomy and swamped. This guide gives you The Funky Fitz oversized size chart in inches and centimetres, compares it with a regular fit, and shows you how to check your size using a tee you already own.

Spend five minutes with a measuring tape before you order. We do not offer size exchanges, so getting the size right the first time really matters.

What is the oversized t-shirt size chart in inches?

Our oversized t-shirts come in S, M, L and XL, with a garment chest of 42, 44, 46 and 48 inches. Length runs from 27 to 30 inches and shoulder width from 23 to 25.5 inches.

Size	Garment chest (in)	Length (in)	Shoulder (in)
S	42	27	23
M	44	28	23.5
L	46	29	24.5
XL	48	30	25.5

These are measurements of the t-shirt itself, laid flat, not of your body. Garment chest is the full chest of the tee with both sides added together, so a 44 inch garment chest is 22 inches straight across from armpit to armpit.

What is the oversized t-shirt size chart in cm?

In centimetres, our oversized S, M, L and XL measure 106.5, 112, 117 and 122 cm across the garment chest. Lengths run from 68.5 to 76 cm and shoulders from 58.5 to 65 cm.

Size	Garment chest (cm)	Length (cm)	Shoulder (cm)
S	106.5	68.5	58.5
M	112	71	59.5
L	117	73.5	62
XL	122	76	65

We converted from inches (1 inch is 2.54 cm) and rounded to the nearest half centimetre. A few millimetres either way is normal when you measure at home.

Oversized vs regular t-shirt size: what is the difference?

At the same size label, our oversized tee is 4 inches (about 10 cm) wider across the chest than our classic fit tee, while the length stays almost the same. An oversized M has a 44 inch garment chest; a classic fit M has 40 inches.

Oversized is a cut, not a size of its own. It still comes in S, M, L and XL, and each of those sizes is simply cut wider than its regular fit twin.

Size	Oversized chest	Classic fit chest	Oversized length	Classic fit length
S	42 in	38 in	27 in	27.5 in
M	44 in	40 in	28 in	28 in
L	46 in	42 in	29 in	28.75 in
XL	48 in	44 in	30 in	29.5 in

So the oversized look comes from width and dropped shoulders, not from extra length. The shoulder seam sits down on your upper arm instead of on your shoulder bone, which gives that relaxed, sloping line.

The table also shows a handy overlap. An oversized S has the same 42 inch chest as a classic fit L, and an oversized M matches a classic fit XL. If a classic L feels nicely loose on you, an oversized S gives a similar width with a dropped shoulder.

You can compare both cuts in our oversized t-shirts and classic fit tees.

Should you size up or size down in an oversized t-shirt?

For the intended oversized look, order your usual size, because the extra room is already built into the pattern. Size down only if you want a fit that is loose but not fully oversized, and size up only if you want a very baggy drape.

Each size step also changes the length by about an inch. On a tall frame, that inch can matter more than the chest.

A common mistake is ordering one size up "to make it oversized". That stacks extra room on top of a cut that already has it, and the shoulder seam slides far down your arm.

How do you measure a t-shirt you already own?

The most reliable way to pick a size is to measure a tee that already fits the way you like and match it to our chart. It takes about two minutes and a measuring tape.

1. Lay it flat. Put the tee on a bed or table, front side up, and smooth out wrinkles without stretching it.
2. Measure the chest. Measure straight across from one armpit seam to the other, about 1 inch below the sleeves. Double the number to get the full garment chest.
3. Measure the length. Go from the highest point of the shoulder, next to the collar, straight down to the hem.
4. Measure the shoulder. Go across the top from one shoulder seam to the other.
5. Compare. Find our size with the closest garment chest, then check that the length suits you.

Say your favourite loose tee measures 22 inches from armpit to armpit. That is a 44 inch garment chest, which matches our oversized M. If it measures 23 inches, that is 46 inches, an oversized L.

If your tee falls between two sizes, decide by length. Take the smaller size if you like a front tuck or wear high-rise pants, and the larger one if you want the hem lower on your hips.

What size oversized t-shirt should you buy for your height?

As a rough starting point, someone of average build around 5 ft 7 in (170 cm) usually does well in an oversized M, which is 44 inches across the chest and 28 inches long. Height mostly decides how the length falls, while your build decides the chest.

Treat the table below as general guidance, not a promise. Bodies vary a lot, and measuring your own tee always beats a height chart.

Height	Slim build	Average build	Broad build
Under 5 ft 5 in (165 cm)	S	S	M
5 ft 5 in to 5 ft 9 in (165 to 175 cm)	S	M	L
5 ft 9 in to 6 ft (175 to 183 cm)	M	L	XL
Over 6 ft (183 cm)	L	L or XL	XL

If you are tall and slim, one size may fit your chest but feel short. Go up a size for length and accept a little more width.

If you are shorter with a broad build, the bigger size can feel long. A hem that reaches the top of your thighs still reads as oversized, and a loose half-tuck at the front fixes the rest.

Prefer to measure your body?

Measure around the fullest part of your chest, under the arms, keeping the tape level. As a loose rule of thumb, a regular fit leaves about 2 to 4 inches of room over that number, and an oversized fit about 6 to 8 inches.

So a 38 inch body chest lines up with our classic fit M (40 inches) for a regular look, or our oversized M (44 inches) for the oversized look.

How do women use an oversized t-shirt size chart?

Women read the chart the same way, because it measures the garment, not a body. If you usually wear S or M in regular women's tops, an oversized S will already feel loose, and an oversized M will give a longer, roomier drape.

Look at the shoulder figure too. Our oversized S measures 23 inches across the shoulders, so on narrower shoulders the seam drops further down the arm. That is part of the look, but it is worth knowing before you order.

Buying for two? Our matching couple sets come as a set of two, one For Him and one For Her, and you pick each person's size separately in the same order.

What should you check before you order?

Check three numbers before you add a tee to your cart: garment chest, length and shoulder. Then make sure you are reading the right chart, because our oversized, classic fit and waffle tees each have their own.

• Oversized tees (graphic, acid wash and solid colours): the oversized chart above, S to XL.
• Classic fit tees: 4 inches narrower in the chest at every size, S to XL.
• Waffle henleys and raglans: M to XL only, with a shorter 25 to 26 inch length.

All our oversized tees are 100% cotton. Wash them inside out in cold water, and skip hot tumble drying, since heat can shrink cotton.

For our other ranges, see the size chart page.
