How Do Gildan Shirts Fit?

If you're wondering, “Do Gildan shirts run small?” or “Do Gildan shirts fit true to size?” the answer is, it depends! Gildan’s unisex and women’s sizing differs, as does sizing between different styles. Gildan’s line of women’s tees tends to run smaller than the unisex styles.

Generally speaking, Gildan sweatshirts, and other apparel items tend to run slightly bigger than usual to some. This is especially true when it comes to the Gildan unisex sweatshirt size chart, as the sizing is a bit more generous than other brands. But something to also keep in mind is that Gildan apparel is not pre-shrunk, so it often shrinks down a full size after its first machine wash and dry. For this reason, many people will use the Gildan size chart as a starting point, and order a size up for sweatshirts if they like an oversized look. 

 Men's Sizing

Gildan's men's apparel range is designed for comfort and style. To figure out what size of shirt will best fit your body type:

1. Start by measuring your chest circumference. This measurement should be taken just under the arms and around the fullest part of the chest.

2. Once you have this measurement in inches, refer to the Gildan size chart for men to determine which size is right for you.

3. Remember that the Gildan t-shirt size chart will be slightly different for each product, so make sure you double-check the measurements.

 

Women's Sizing 

Gildan's women's apparel range is designed specifically for ladies' body types and sizes. To figure out what size of shirt will best fit your body type, start by measuring your bust circumference and waist circumference. These measurements should be taken around the fullest part of each area respectively – so just above or at the point where your breasts meet your rib cage for bust circumference, and at its narrowest point (usually just above or below your belly button), for waist circumference. Once you have these measurements in inches, refer to the Gildan shirt size chart to determine which size is right for you.  

 Kids' Sizing

Gildan offers an extensive range of kids' apparel that comes in all different sizes from XS through XXL(2XL). To figure out what size will best fit your child, start by measuring their chest circumference and height – this measurement should be taken just under their arms and around the fullest part of their chest in inches; as well as from their head down over their shoulder blades until they reach their desired length in centimeters (cm). Once you have these measurements in inches/cm, respectively, refer to the Gildan size chart for kids to determine which size is right for them. Although these size charts say “Boys”, these sizing guidelines also applies to all youths.
