Every product on our site has its own size chart: open Size Guide on the product page, or the Size chart button in the online designer. Below is the Gildan t-shirt size chart for the Gildan styles below (adult, women's and youth tees, hoodies, crewnecks and polos), plus how to measure a shirt you already own. All numbers are in inches, garment laid flat, copied from each product page's t-shirt sizing chart.

Each Gildan size chart below is copied from the style's product page (checked November 2026). Measurements are in inches, garment laid flat. To get the distance around the chest, double the width (a 20 in width is about 40 in around). Most of these charts list a tolerance of about 1 in, so pieces can differ slightly; that is normal for manufactured garments.
