The SUMI tee is built on a Gildan 5000 heavyweight cotton blank — a classic unisex fit that has been the workhorse of screen-printed tees for decades. It runs true to a US size chart, with a square cut through the body and a seamless double-needle collar.

Fit notes

  • Cut: classic unisex, straight side seams, not tapered.
  • Sleeve: set-in, mid-bicep length on most wearers.
  • Collar: ribbed crew, taped neck and shoulders.
  • If you are between sizes: size down for a closer fit, up for an oversized look. We recommend up for women who want a relaxed silhouette.
  • Shrinkage: heavyweight cotton can shrink ~3–5 % on a hot wash. Wash cold, tumble low — see care.

How to measure

You need a soft tape measure and ideally a tee that already fits you well — we recommend measuring the existing tee flat rather than your body, then matching to the chart above.

  • Chest: lay the tee flat, measure 2.5 cm below the armpit straight across, then double the number.
  • Body length: measure from the highest point of the shoulder seam down to the bottom hem.
  • If measuring yourself: chest = around the fullest part, under the arms, tape parallel to the floor; add 5–8 cm of ease for the SUMI cut.

Care

  • Machine wash cold (≤ 30 °C), inside out, with similar colours.
  • Tumble dry on low, or hang to dry away from direct sun.
  • Do not iron the print. Iron the reverse side only, on a medium setting.
  • No bleach, no dry-clean.
  • Wash before first wear if you have sensitive skin.

Following the care guide keeps the print sharp and the cotton from shrinking past the size you ordered. Heat is the enemy of both — hot wash, hot dry, or a hot iron on the print will all shorten the garment’s life.
