Garment measurements: the shirt itself, chest all the way around and length from shoulder to hem, from each brand's own chart or wholesale spec sheet, checked November 2026. Shirts with half or more cotton are shown as they come out of a dryer (about 2% less around and 4% shorter). Brands change their cuts, so check the shop's chart before you buy.
