Noir & Lin
Oversized T-Shirt Size Guide
Not sure which size to pick in an oversized t-shirt? This guide shows the exact measurements of every Noir & Lin oversized tee, how to compare them with a t-shirt you already own, and how to choose between sizes for the fit you want.
Quick size answer: To choose an oversized T-shirt, measure the chest width of a tee you already like, double that measurement, and compare it with the garment chest chart below. An oversized fit has more room through the body, lower shoulder seams and a longer drape; sizing up again is usually unnecessary.
Oversized t-shirt size chart
Chest measurements show the full garment circumference (measure across the chest of a T-shirt laid flat, then double it). Length is measured from the shoulder to the hem. Allow approximately ±1 inch.
| Size | Chest (in) | Length (in) | Chest (cm) | Length (cm) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| XS | 40 | 27 | 102 | 69 |
| S | 42 | 28 | 107 | 71 |
| M | 44 | 29 | 112 | 74 |
| L | 46 | 30 | 117 | 76 |
| XL | 48 | 31 | 122 | 79 |
| 2XL | 50 | 32 | 127 | 81 |
How to measure
- Take a t-shirt you like the fit of and lay it flat on a table.
- Chest: measure straight across from armpit to armpit, then double that number.
- Length: measure from the highest point of the shoulder, next to the collar, straight down to the hem.
- Compare both numbers with the chart and pick the closest size.
How should an oversized t-shirt fit?
An oversized tee is cut wider and longer than a regular t-shirt, with dropped shoulders that sit below your natural shoulder line and sleeves that fall towards the elbow. It should drape loosely, not cling.
- For the intended relaxed oversized look: pick your usual size.
- For a cleaner, less boxy fit: go one size down.
- Between two sizes? Compare a t-shirt you own with the chart above. That is more reliable than guessing.
Oversized vs regular fit
Our oversized t-shirts are 240 GSM heavyweight cotton with drop shoulders and extra length. Our regular-fit graphic t-shirts sit closer to the body, with a standard shoulder seam. If you prefer a traditional fit, go regular.
