Size Guide
Every Whale Rider tee is printed on the Bella+Canvas 3001 unisex jersey — a soft, modern-fit shirt that's true to size for most people. Our cotton tees (3001C) and heather tees (3001CVC) share the exact same body, so this chart covers them all.
Good to know: this is a slim, modern retail fit. If you like a roomier, more relaxed feel — or you're used to a heavier classic tee like Gildan — we recommend sizing up one size. Because every shirt is custom printed to order, we can't offer size exchanges, so please check the measurements below before you order.
Unisex Tee — Size Chart (inches)
| Size | Chest Width (laid flat) | Body Length | Fits Chest (body) |
|---|---|---|---|
| XS | 16½" | 27" | 31–34" |
| S | 18" | 28" | 34–37" |
| M | 20" | 29" | 38–41" |
| L | 22" | 30" | 42–45" |
| XL | 24" | 31" | 46–49" |
| 2XL | 26" | 32" | 50–53" |
| 3XL | 28" | 33" | 54–57" |
Measurements may vary up to ±1" due to the custom nature of each garment. Chest width is measured 1" below the armhole; body length from the high point of the shoulder to the hem.
How to Find Your Size
- Measure a shirt you already love. Lay it flat and measure across the chest, armpit to armpit (that's the "chest width"), and from the top of the shoulder to the hem (that's the "body length"). Match those numbers to the chart above.
- Or measure your body. Wrap a tape around the fullest part of your chest. Divide by 2, then add 2–3 inches for comfortable room — that's your target chest width.
- Between sizes or want it relaxed? Size up. The 3001 runs slim.
