How Your T-Shirts Should Fit | T-Shirt Fit Guide for Men

In this video, I'll explain exactly how a men's t-shirt should fit. We'll look at the following areas: the shoulders, the sleeves (length and width), the torso (chest, stomach and hips) and the overall length of the shirt. I'll use my Sharp Casualwear v-neck and crew neck tees to demonstrate proper fit.

Big thanks to Sharp Casualwear for sponsoring this video!

Personally, I'd rather my t shirts are a bit longer so that when you raise your arms to grab something you don't have a crop top.

I'm 4'11 and 26 years old. I have issues finding tees that fit but I've found that Uniqlo's tees fit pretty darn well. The overall length and sleeves are a tad bit long, but nothing the tailor can't fix. I recommend it for other small sized folks who need shirts that fit and aren't expensive

this is an underrated youtuber if i've ever seen one, imma show this man to everyone i know

It depends what kind of fit you want. Oversized tee's can look great, they don't all have to be fitted like this to look good. Tucking a t-shirt in and slightly pulling it out all around can look good too.

Recent subscriber here. Just wanna say that I really like the overall production of your videos; the music, the contrast, the extra bits—everything. Keep up the good work! Oh, and stay stylish! ;)

Great video Brock. Hey ever since I started your skin care routine my face has really cleared up. Have a safe and happy 4th!

[EqualToBen]

i like even huggier sleeves than that, my best tees have almost no extra room on the arms without me stretching them . great video though i like your down to earthiness

[gentwithin]

Great guide. I've been meaning to check them out!

Tbh... I've always worn a dress shirt throughout my 20s, now I'm 30 and love a simple regular tee shirt for the gym.

As someone who loves and will continue to watch your videos I feel I want to speak out when I disagree. Not to offend or be close minded but that my opinion is different. I dont agree with the arm width or side width. The shirt arm width popping off to the sides looks ugly to me and the extra inch or so is doing that. Its completely avoidable in the market to have a shirt arm width that holds to the skin but is not hugging it too hard to both avoid it flaring out with that extra inch and to avoid being too tight. Its makes a very odd shape in the air where it has no purpose or meaning it just looks badly fit and out of place. Most shirt makers ive been too (Express) dont have this issue and have a perfect fit in that area without the flare. and almost the same comment on the shirt side width. Most companies offers shirts that hug but dont hold too tight. The days where most shirts dont fit well no matter the shirt size and person and compression shirts holding too tight are fading away.This is the first time where I honestly dont like the way the shirt works on you in the video. I just feel like it looks very cookie cutter and knowing you that is not the usual. But thats just my two cents. And again Im still a big fan and will like the video anyway because you are still doing what you love for other people and have the best at heart.

Could you review the brand “son of a tailor” and if you do please go with us over how you built your t shirt and comparison to other brands

My shoulder is too broad for my stomach . Everytime I find a shirt that suit my shoulder, it make me look like a kid wearing his dad shirt, but a shirt that fit my stomach, the shoulder just wouldnt fit or too tight, the arm would get pulled up to shoulder.

[RokieDeMonkor]

Yeah agree. Even here somewhere in southeast asia many of brands here like H&M Topman, P&B have their XS has a perfect length but always too tight and their S has perfect fit on upper torso but too long. My body is just like you not big or skinny and i'm 5'5.5" (167cm) maybe equal to 5'8"-5'9" in USA which consider average or little under average but totally not consider short for southeast asian. So far only uniqlo's Tees S size can fits me well.

I cannot believe this!! The first to reply? Oh wow, I am on a role!! Now I know I always knew that a T shirt should not pass the crotch's length, but now I know, 2 inches below the belt!! I am going on a shopping spree!!

[AlexandruMusetoiu]

thank you man your channel help me a lot

[neelblues]

I really like your down to earth personality. Keep it up!Also, come visit Europe. You'll fit in better!

Been looking for this - but it seems like there’s no online access?

[andrewclark]

just listened to the most recent episode of buttoned up, the episode about shorts and Sean Connery. I just wanted to say that it would be awesome if you were able to get the urban gentry on an episode.

I have the viceversa problem... Tha majority of tshirts that fit me on body are a little too short. In order to be a little bit longer, i must choose the bigger size, wich is big on body or shoulders. And i am not very tall, i have 1.80m

I know this is a bit late but a could you review Son of a Tailor shirt? They are a new custom fitter t shirts, polos and sweatshirts.
