Check your size by measuring a T-shirt that fits you, flat, sleeve-to-sleeve.
Chest measurement is a circumference - double the flat measurement:
46cm or 18" flat = 36" chest circumference
(" is shorthand for inches)
48cm or 19" flat = 38" T shirt size
51cm or 20" flat = 40" T shirt size
53cm or 21" flat = 42" T shirt size
56cm or 22" flat = 44" T shirt size

T shirts are sold for wearing more tightly, so the S / M
/ L labels are one size smaller than the ones for cotton T shirts
above. |
These British-made cotton T shirts from Unbranded Apparel
are woven in India, then cut and made into T shirts and dyed
at a mainstream employers in Leicester.
The selling point is not that they are from
an advertised brand, but that they are from an un-advertised
firm that pays UK rates for making the T shirts and so don't
have a margin to pay for advertising. If you are not a paid lobbyist
using vague terms like "ethical fashion" or
"ethical T shirt", you probably know what UK
employment is like and that it pays for services like the NHS,
dole and pensions far beyond those available to workers making
fairtrade T shirts, who tend to be poor for lack of those services
rather than for the lack of T shirt orders. |
