Custom Ink's T-shirt Sizing Guide\nCategory: Custom Ink News & Events\nTarget keywords: t-shirt sizing guide, custom t-shirt sizes, how should a t-shirt fit\n--><\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/customink-iotw-east-prod\/images\/16466\/large\/groupshot.jpg?1336009504\" alt=\"Group of adults and kids wearing matching custom t-shirts in a range of sizes\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Outfitting a group in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/products\/t-shirts\/4\">custom t-shirts<\/a> comes with one nagging question: will they actually fit everyone? Your team spans different heights, builds, and ages, and a shirt that drapes perfectly on one person can cling or swallow another. The good news is that you don&#8217;t have to guess. Custom Ink&#8217;s tees run from youth XS through adult 4XL, and every product page gives you the tools to see exactly how a style fits before you order a single shirt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This guide walks through how our most popular tees fit real people, from heavyweight cotton classics to silky tri-blends, with dedicated picks for women&#8217;s and kids&#8217; sizes and practical tips for collecting sizes from a whole crew, whether that crew is a third-grade soccer team or a three-generation family reunion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Takeaways<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Every Custom Ink t-shirt page includes a sizing line-up: real people wearing each size, heights and weights listed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The fit label matters as much as the size letter. A large in a standard fit tee wears roomier than a large in a semi-fitted or slim style.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When someone falls between sizes on a semi-fitted or slim style, size up. Roomy gets worn; tight stays in the drawer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How T-shirt Sizing Works at Custom Ink<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Open any t-shirt on customink.com and you&#8217;ll find two sizing tools on the product page. The first is the size chart, which lists flat garment measurements like chest width and body length for every size. The second is the sizing line-up: click &#8220;View Sizing Line-Up&#8221; and you&#8217;ll see photos of real people wearing that exact shirt, each labeled with the model&#8217;s height, weight, and the size they have on. Find the model built most like the person you&#8217;re ordering for and you have a live preview of the fit. Our Help Center guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/help_center\/finding-the-right-size\">finding the right size for your group<\/a> walks through where to find the line-up on any product page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The other half of the equation is the fit label. Every tee in our catalog is tagged with one of four cuts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Standard fit<\/strong>: a straight cut through the body, chest, and arms. Roomy without being boxy, and the safest call for mixed groups.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Semi-fitted<\/strong>: a closer cut that skims the body, chest, and arms without hugging them. Looks modern and drapes softly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Relaxed fit<\/strong>: a loose, easygoing cut through the body, chest, and arms.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Slim fit<\/strong>: a narrower cut that hugs the body, chest, and arms. Stylish, but the least forgiving if someone is between sizes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pick the fit first, then the size: if you&#8217;re choosing one style for an entire group and can&#8217;t check with every person, a standard fit gives you the most room for error, while semi-fitted and slim cuts are best saved for orders where each member confirms their own size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One more trick before you order: grab a t-shirt that already fits well, lay it flat, and measure it from armpit to armpit and from the shoulder seam to the hem. Compare those numbers to the size chart on the product page and you&#8217;ll know in seconds whether to order the same size letter or shift up or down for that particular style. No well-fitting shirt handy? Wrap a soft tape measure around the fullest part of the chest and compare that number to the chart instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What a Good Fit Looks Like<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the line-up photos load and you&#8217;re deciding between two sizes, judge the shirt against four checkpoints:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Shoulders<\/strong>: the seam should end right at the edge of the shoulder bone. Seams sliding down the upper arm mean the shirt is too big.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sleeves<\/strong>: the hem should land around mid-bicep and follow the arm without flaring wide open.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Length<\/strong>: the bottom hem should cover the waistband with a little to spare, not stretch past mid-fly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chest<\/strong>: fabric should lie smooth across the chest without pulling tight or bunching under the arms. Being able to pinch an inch or two of fabric at the side is a comfortable middle ground.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Our Most Popular Adult T-shirts Fit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/products\/t-shirts\/short-sleeve-t-shirts\/gildan-ultra-cotton-t-shirt\/4600\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mms-images-prod.imgix.net\/mms\/images\/catalog\/8f1d3eb6a209de37fe8f89585fed76e1\/colors\/4604\/views\/alt\/front_large.png\" alt=\"Gildan Ultra Cotton t-shirt in black\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/products\/t-shirts\/short-sleeve-t-shirts\/gildan-ultra-cotton-t-shirt\/4600\">Gildan Ultra Cotton T-shirt<\/a><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>6 oz. heavyweight 100% U.S. cotton<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Standard fit with a straight cut through the body<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Youth and adult sizes from YXS to 4XL<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/products\/t-shirts\/short-sleeve-t-shirts\/bella-+-canvas-tri-blend-t-shirt\/242000\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mms-images-prod.imgix.net\/mms\/images\/catalog\/51fbd9f0c27f6cf3b1a4d8a4113a96e2\/colors\/242048\/views\/alt\/front_large.png\" alt=\"Bella + Canvas tri-blend t-shirt in cement\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/products\/t-shirts\/short-sleeve-t-shirts\/bella-+-canvas-tri-blend-t-shirt\/242000\">Bella + Canvas Tri-Blend T-shirt<\/a><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>3.8 oz. silky-soft tri-blend fabric<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Semi-fitted cut that skims the body<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sizes YS to 4XL<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/products\/t-shirts\/short-sleeve-t-shirts\/next-level-tri-blend-t-shirt\/186900\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mms-images-prod.imgix.net\/mms\/images\/catalog\/7d4a41c594199f90fd8f8243acb9866a\/colors\/186901\/views\/alt\/front_large.png\" alt=\"Next Level tri-blend t-shirt in premium heather\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/products\/t-shirts\/short-sleeve-t-shirts\/next-level-tri-blend-t-shirt\/186900\">Next Level Tri-Blend T-shirt<\/a><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>4.3 oz. pre-shrunk tri-blend<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Semi-fitted with a stretchy rib-knit collar<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sizes YXS to 3XL<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gildan Ultra Cotton T-shirt: The Standard-Fit Staple<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Gildan Ultra Cotton T-shirt is our best-selling tee. It&#8217;s a 6 oz. heavyweight 100% U.S. cotton shirt with a standard fit that runs straight through the body, chest, and arms, so it never clings, and the neck and shoulders are taped for durability.  It&#8217;s preshrunk, too, so it holds its size wash after wash while the fabric only gets softer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The size range is enormous: youth XS through adult 4XL in the same style, which means a whole multi-generation family reunion can wear the same shirt. If you&#8217;re ordering for a group and only want to pick one style, this is the one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here&#8217;s the garment chart for this shirt, straight from its sizing line-up. Length runs from the shoulder seam at the collar to the bottom hem; width runs armhole to armhole across the chest:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Size<\/th><th>Body length (inches)<\/th><th>Body width (inches)<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>YXS (2-4)<\/td><td>20.5<\/td><td>16<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>YS (6-8)<\/td><td>22<\/td><td>17<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>YM (10-12)<\/td><td>23.5<\/td><td>18<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>YL (14-16)<\/td><td>25<\/td><td>19<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>YXL (18-20)<\/td><td>26.5<\/td><td>20<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>S<\/td><td>28<\/td><td>18<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>M<\/td><td>29<\/td><td>20<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>L<\/td><td>30<\/td><td>22<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>XL<\/td><td>31<\/td><td>24<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2XL<\/td><td>32<\/td><td>26<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>3XL<\/td><td>33<\/td><td>28<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>4XL<\/td><td>34<\/td><td>30<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One caution: this chart belongs to this shirt. Cuts change from style to style even at the same size letter, so every tee in this guide gets its own chart below, and any style we don&#8217;t cover has one on its product page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bella + Canvas Tri-Blend T-shirt: The Soft Semi-Fitted Favorite<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Bella + Canvas Tri-Blend is the tee people pet before they put on. Its 3.8 oz. polyester, cotton, and rayon blend is silky, breathable, and noticeably lighter than a classic cotton shirt. The cut is semi-fitted, so it skims the body rather than hanging off it, and the fabric drapes close. Anyone who prefers a roomier feel should go up a size in this style. Adult measurements from its sizing line-up (youth sizes are charted on the product page):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Size<\/th><th>Body length (inches)<\/th><th>Body width (inches)<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>XS<\/td><td>27<\/td><td>16.5<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>S<\/td><td>28<\/td><td>18<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>M<\/td><td>29<\/td><td>20<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>L<\/td><td>30<\/td><td>22<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>XL<\/td><td>31<\/td><td>24<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2XL<\/td><td>32<\/td><td>26<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>3XL<\/td><td>33<\/td><td>28<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>4XL<\/td><td>34<\/td><td>30<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Next Level Tri-Blend T-shirt: The Middle Ground<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Next Level Tri-Blend splits the difference between the two styles above. At 4.3 oz. it carries a bit more structure than the Bella + Canvas while keeping the buttery tri-blend feel, and the semi-fitted cut skims without squeezing. The fabric comes pre-shrunk, so the size you order is the size that comes out of the dryer. It&#8217;s the pick for groups who want a modern cut that still flatters a wide mix of builds. You can see the semi-fitted cut in its numbers: about half an inch shorter than the Gildan at every size letter, and narrower from medium up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Size<\/th><th>Body length (inches)<\/th><th>Body width (inches)<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>XS<\/td><td>26.5<\/td><td>16.75<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>S<\/td><td>27.5<\/td><td>18.25<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>M<\/td><td>28.5<\/td><td>19.75<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>L<\/td><td>29.5<\/td><td>21.25<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>XL<\/td><td>30.5<\/td><td>22.5<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2XL<\/td><td>31.5<\/td><td>24.75<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>3XL<\/td><td>32.5<\/td><td>26.75<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cotton or Tri-Blend: Picking a Fabric for Your Group<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re torn between the three, let the occasion decide. Heavyweight cotton brings structure and a classic feel at a price that keeps big orders affordable, and its standard fit forgives every body type on the roster, which is why it anchors school events, fundraisers, and family reunions. Tri-blends earn their keep when comfort and style are the point: they weigh roughly a third less, drape close, and come in heathered colors that look more like a favorite store-bought tee than a uniform. Some groups split the order, cotton for the volunteers working outside all day, tri-blend for the crew that will wear the shirt to brunch afterward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Women&#8217;s Styles: Same Shirts, Different Cuts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each of the tees above pairs with a women&#8217;s version, and the fit labels shift in ways worth knowing before you order <a href=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/products\/t-shirts\/womens-t-shirts\/104\">custom women&#8217;s t-shirts<\/a> for your group. The Gildan Ultra Cotton Women&#8217;s T-shirt keeps the standard fit but is cut on a narrower width with a feminine pattern. The Bella + Canvas Women&#8217;s Tri-Blend goes the other direction with a relaxed fit that drapes loose, a softer silhouette than the semi-fitted unisex shirt. And the Next Level Women&#8217;s Slim Fit Tri-Blend is exactly what the name promises: a narrower cut that hugs the body, with shorter sleeves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/products\/womens\/womens-short-sleeve-t-shirts\/gildan-ultra-cotton-womens-t-shirt\/116800\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mms-images-prod.imgix.net\/mms\/images\/catalog\/33438a48c679c1b658377dc36e90fc08\/colors\/116802\/views\/alt\/front_large.png\" alt=\"Gildan Ultra Cotton women's t-shirt in black\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/products\/womens\/womens-short-sleeve-t-shirts\/gildan-ultra-cotton-womens-t-shirt\/116800\">Gildan Ultra Cotton Women&#8217;s T-shirt<\/a><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Same 6 oz. cotton as the unisex tee, cut on a narrower width<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Standard fit with a feminine pattern<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sizes XS to 3XL<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/products\/womens\/womens-short-sleeve-t-shirts\/bella-+-canvas-womens-tri-blend-t-shirt\/242200\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mms-images-prod.imgix.net\/mms\/images\/catalog\/887f2043629f3c552730181314ab2b49\/colors\/242212\/views\/alt\/front_large.png\" alt=\"Bella + Canvas women's tri-blend t-shirt in athletic grey\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/products\/womens\/womens-short-sleeve-t-shirts\/bella-+-canvas-womens-tri-blend-t-shirt\/242200\">Bella + Canvas Women&#8217;s Tri-Blend T-shirt<\/a><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>3.4 oz. lightweight tri-blend<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Relaxed fit that drapes loose through the body<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sizes S to 3XL<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/products\/womens\/womens-short-sleeve-t-shirts\/next-level-womens-slim-fit-tri-blend-t-shirt\/187000\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mms-images-prod.imgix.net\/mms\/images\/catalog\/0dde08e65d9b5959c9cfbb888d356fff\/colors\/187018\/views\/alt\/front_large.png\" alt=\"Next Level women's slim fit tri-blend t-shirt in black\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/products\/womens\/womens-short-sleeve-t-shirts\/next-level-womens-slim-fit-tri-blend-t-shirt\/187000\">Next Level Women&#8217;s Slim Fit Tri-Blend T-shirt<\/a><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>4.3 oz. tri-blend with shorter sleeves<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Slim fit that hugs the body<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sizes S to 2XL<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The slim cut is easy to spot in the garment charts: a Next Level women&#8217;s large is a full four inches narrower than a large in either of the other two styles.

Growing kids are also the one case where sizing up is almost always right: a slightly long tee in September fits perfectly by spring. Browse all <a href=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/products\/t-shirts\/kids-t-shirts\/197\">custom kids&#8217; t-shirts<\/a> to see the full range, or start with the three below, which mirror the adult styles so your whole group matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fabric matters a little more with kids, too. The Gildan Youth Ultra Cotton uses the same 6 oz. heavyweight cotton as the adult shirt in a straight standard fit, and it&#8217;s CPSIA tracking label compliant, worth knowing for teachers and coaches ordering for a classroom or team. The Jerzees Youth 50\/50 is a 5.4 oz. mid-weight cotton and polyester blend, and blended fabric shrinks less than 100% cotton, a real advantage for shirts that live in the washing machine. The Next Level Youth Tri-Blend brings the same semi-fitted, super-soft cut as the adult version for kids who notice what they&#8217;re wearing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/products\/t-shirts\/short-sleeve-t-shirts\/gildan-youth-ultra-cotton-t-shirt\/133900\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mms-images-prod.imgix.net\/mms\/images\/catalog\/af1105f04d617b4c54199698782be48d\/colors\/133902\/views\/alt\/front_large.png\" alt=\"Gildan Youth Ultra Cotton t-shirt in black\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/products\/t-shirts\/short-sleeve-t-shirts\/gildan-youth-ultra-cotton-t-shirt\/133900\">Gildan Youth Ultra Cotton T-shirt<\/a><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Same 6 oz. heavyweight cotton as the adult tee<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Standard straight fit<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Youth sizes YXS to YXL<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/products\/t-shirts\/short-sleeve-t-shirts\/jerzees-youth-50-50-t-shirt\/158600\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mms-images-prod.imgix.net\/mms\/images\/catalog\/852a2fff2cb5604099351c97f6504a8e\/colors\/158646\/views\/alt\/front_large.png\" alt=\"Jerzees Youth 50\/50 t-shirt in athletic heather\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/products\/t-shirts\/short-sleeve-t-shirts\/jerzees-youth-50-50-t-shirt\/158600\">Jerzees Youth 50\/50 T-shirt<\/a><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>5.4 oz. mid-weight cotton\/polyester blend<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Standard fit; the blend shrinks less than 100% cotton<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Youth sizes YXS to YXL<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/products\/t-shirts\/short-sleeve-t-shirts\/next-level-youth-tri-blend-t-shirt\/190600\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mms-images-prod.imgix.net\/mms\/images\/catalog\/cbcbcbebfb579bea5f42760de9a9ce4d\/colors\/190601\/views\/alt\/front_large.png\" alt=\"Next Level Youth tri-blend t-shirt in premium heather\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/products\/t-shirts\/short-sleeve-t-shirts\/next-level-youth-tri-blend-t-shirt\/190600\">Next Level Youth Tri-Blend T-shirt<\/a><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>4.3 oz. super-soft tri-blend<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Semi-fitted cut, just like the adult version<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Youth sizes YXS to YXL<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Youth cuts vary more between styles than adult cuts do, even at the same size letter: a Jerzees youth XS is a full two and a half inches shorter than a Gildan youth XS.

Start a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/ink\/group-order-form\">group order form<\/a>, share the link, and each person submits their own size. No spreadsheet, no chasing anyone down at practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ordering for people you can&#8217;t ask? Every tee in this guide has a single-shirt minimum, so you can order exactly the sizes you need and add a straggler&#8217;s shirt later. For big events, tossing in a couple of spare mediums and larges is cheap insurance for day-of walk-ups. The styles in this guide are also built as companion styles: the women&#8217;s and youth tees pair with their unisex counterparts, so the whole roster coordinates even when the cuts differ. And once you know how each style fits, our guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/what-t-shirt-sizes-should-i-order-for-my-group-a-bulk-order-guide\/\">what t-shirt sizes to order for your group<\/a> breaks down how many of each size to buy when you&#8217;re estimating for a crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/photos\/here-we-come-main-street\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/customink-iotw-east-prod\/images\/57697\/large\/PhotoPass_Visiting_Magic_Kingdom_Park_7463045591.jpg?1445697348\" alt=\"Family of thirteen in matching custom t-shirts at Walt Disney World, from baby to adult sizes\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cThe shirts fit perfectly from size 6 months to XL!

For group orders, give yourself an extra week or two on top of that to collect everyone&#8217;s sizes. See our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/help_center\/delivery-options\">delivery options<\/a> for details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: Do Custom Ink t-shirts run small or large?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It depends on the fit label rather than the brand. Standard fit custom t-shirts like the Gildan Ultra Cotton run straight and roomy, while semi-fitted and slim styles like the Bella + Canvas and Next Level tri-blends wear closer to the body. Check the sizing line-up photos on each product page to see the shirt on someone with a similar build, and size up on fitted styles if you&#8217;re between sizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: Do Gildan shirts run small?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. If anything, they run a little roomy: the Gildan Ultra Cotton T-shirt is a standard fit tee cut straight and generously through the body, chest, and arms, and it comes preshrunk, so it won&#8217;t tighten up after washing. Most people order their usual size; if you&#8217;re between sizes and want a trimmer look, go down a size rather than up. The garment chart earlier in this guide lists the exact length and width for every size from youth XS to adult 4XL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: Do Hanes or American Apparel shirts run small?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/products\/featured-brands\/hanes\/508\">Hanes tees at Custom Ink<\/a>, like the Hanes Beefy-T Crewneck T-shirt, are standard fit, cut straight through the body, chest, and arms, so they wear much like the Gildan Ultra Cotton. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/custom\/american-apparel\">American Apparel tees<\/a> run trimmer: the American Apparel Jersey T-shirt is semi-fitted, so it skims closer to the body, and sizing up is the right call if you&#8217;re between sizes. Every product page has its own garment chart and sizing line-up, so check the style you&#8217;re ordering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: What sizes do custom t-shirts come in?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Size ranges vary by style, but they run wide: the Gildan Ultra Cotton T-shirt spans youth XS through adult 4XL, and most adult tees in this guide reach at least 3XL. Youth custom t-shirts run YXS to YXL. Each product page lists the exact sizes available for that style and color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: What&#8217;s the difference between unisex and women&#8217;s custom t-shirt sizes?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unisex custom t-shirts are cut straight through the body, so they wear roomier on smaller frames. Women&#8217;s styles change the silhouette rather than just the size letters: some keep a standard fit on a narrower width, while others are cut relaxed or slim. Check the fit label and sizing line-up on each women&#8217;s product page before choosing between the two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: Can I order just one custom t-shirt?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. Every custom t-shirt featured in this guide has a single-shirt minimum, so you can order one tee, or one odd size to top off a group order. Check the product details on any style, or filter by &#8220;no minimum&#8221; while browsing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: How do I collect t-shirt sizes from everyone in my group?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Set up a group order for your custom t-shirts: you share a link and each member submits their own size directly, so nothing gets transcribed wrong between a sign-up sheet and the order. Start one at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/ink\/group-order-form\">Custom Ink&#8217;s group order form<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: Will my custom t-shirts shrink after washing?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It comes down to fabric and whether the shirt is preshrunk. The Gildan Ultra Cotton is preshrunk 100% cotton: it holds its size and only gets softer with each wash. The tri-blend tees in this guide also come pre-shrunk, and blended fabrics like the Jerzees 50\/50 naturally shrink less than 100% cotton. For a cotton tee that isn&#8217;t listed as preshrunk on its product page, expect modest shrinkage and follow the care instructions; if a group member is between sizes on one of those, that&#8217;s another reason to size up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: Are bulk discounts available for custom t-shirts?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, Custom Ink&#8217;s bulk discounts kick in as your custom t-shirt quantity grows. Change the order quantity on any product page to see style-specific pricing for your exact order size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: Can members of my group pay for their own custom t-shirts?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They can. Custom Ink&#8217;s group order feature lets each person pay for their own custom t-shirt and enter their own size and shipping address, or you can pay for the whole order in one transaction and ship everything to one place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: Can I get help designing my custom t-shirts?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Absolutely.
