Measure one you own
The most reliable method. Take a T-shirt that fits you the way you like, lay it flat on a table and smooth it out. Measure armpit to armpit and shoulder to hem, then find the row above with the closest numbers. That is your size.
Find your size.
The chart below is the BASEFIT Essential T-Shirt. Every measurement is taken on the garment itself, laid flat, in centimetres — not on the body. Allow ±1 cm, which is normal for cut and sewn cotton.
- AShoulder — seam to seam across the back.
- B½ Chest — armpit to armpit with the shirt flat. Double it for the full chest.
- CLength — highest point of the shoulder straight down to the hem.
- DSleeve — shoulder seam to the edge of the cuff.

A different range from the T-shirt, and a different chart: the maker sizes this one by body weight. Do not assume the size you take in the tee — go by the weight below.
| Size | Fits |
|---|---|
| MMedium | 50–65 kg |
| LLarge | 65–75 kg |
| XLExtra Large | 75–85 kg |
| XXLDouble Extra Large | 80–100 kg |
| 3XLTriple Extra Large | 100 kg and over |
This is the maker’s chart, given by body weight rather than garment measurements — normal for fleece, where the cut is loose enough that the weight it is made for says more than a chest figure would. Some bands overlap: if your weight falls in two, either will fit, and the larger is the roomier look.

How to pick your size.
Between two sizes?
Take the larger one. The cut is a modern regular fit with a slight taper, so the bigger size reads as relaxed rather than baggy. Sizing down makes the shirt cling across the chest and ride up at the hem.
How it is meant to sit
The shoulder seam should land on the edge of your shoulder, not down your arm. The body follows you without pulling, and the hem finishes around mid-fly. Not oversized, not skin-tight.
