About Sizes:
We understand the difficulties involved with shopping online for clothing. How can you tell from a 2-inch picture whether a t-shirt will fit or not? To address this, we have not only included detailed size information about our t-shirts on this page, but also offer one of the most liberal return policies around. You risk absolutely nothing shopping online with us; if your Kind Dye turns out to be the wrong size, we'll even pay the shipping costs for you to send it back to us! (Please see "About Returns").
We are now using Gildan brand "Heavyweight" t-shirts. The best way to judge which size you need in this brand of t-shirt, is to take one of your own t-shirts that fits you well, lay it flat on the floor, measure it, and then compare the measurements to those listed below.
It is also important to note that you should not allow for any shrinkage at all, as you usually would with cotton garments (even when they say that they're "pre-shrunk"!). The measurements below are for shirts that have already gone through our complete process, which involves (including pre-treating) 3 to 5 hot washes in very hot water. So they really shouldn't shrink any more.
Measure your shirt like this:
LENGTH WIDTH
Then compare to these measurements for Gildan Heavyweight:
| Size | Length | Width |
| Adult XXXL | 30.5" | 28.5" |
| Adult XXL | 29.5" | 26" |
| Adult XL | 28.5" | 24" |
| Adult Large | 28.5" | 21.5" |
| Adult Medium | 27.5" | 19.5" |
| Adult Small | 27" | 18" |
These measurement should be accurate to within an inch on the Width, and within 1-1/2 inches on the Length.
For Youth sizes, compare to these measurements for Hanes Youth Heavyweight:
| Size | Length | Width |
| Youth XL | 25" | 19.5" |
| Youth L | 24" | 17" |
| Youth M | 21.5" | 17" |
| Youth S | 20" | 15" |
| Youth XS | 17.5" | 13.5" |
These measurement should be accurate to within 1/2 inch on the Width, and within 1 inch on the Length.
We are now using Hanes Heavyweight brand long-sleeves. The measurements for "Length" and "Width" were taken in the same manner as for the short-sleeves:
LENGTH WIDTH
Plus, I took measurements for the Sleeve Lengths two different ways. First I measured the distance from the collar of the shirt to the end of the sleeve; I believe this is the more useful measurement in determining whether sleeves are long enough to fit. Still, many people are used to measuring sleeve length the more conventional way, starting from the shoulder seam, so I've included those measurements too.
