Visit any distributor or brand's website and you can find size charts that offer specs by size - typically chest width and body and sleeve length. Fortunately, specs can be available online; remember to also ask for samples if you want to see the garment before ordering. CLASSIC FIT The classic fit tends to flatter almost any body type; offering it can be an easy solution for a decorator who is trying to satisfy wearers across numerous sizes and body shapes. A men's classic-fit shirt typically will be straight from under the sleeves to the bottom of the hem with sleeves that follow the shoulder and arm. A women's classic-fit shirt will have some shaping but is not too extreme at the waist. Classic-fit shirts are easier for decorators to embellish. Straight shirts are easier to load onto pallets than some of the more narrow, trendy cuts, and classic-fit tees always are a good option for large orders. P.24 i m p r e s s i o n s m a g . c o m SEPTEMBER 2019 Men's and women's classic-fit tees have the most potential to satisfy the customer simply because the styling is timeless. The fit is designed to be accommodating across a wide range of body shapes and sizes. Overall, this fit makes it easier and faster for customers to decide on sizing. Always check the garment specs and discuss them with your customer as they're deciding how many tees to order by size. This is just as important for a value giveaway tee program as it is for a premium program intended for retail or corporate apparel. Remember, there's no such thing as a "bad fit;" rather, it's a situation where the customer's expectations and the actual garment aren't aligned.
