  • Width : Measure from one seam to the other, height of the heart.
  • Length : Measure from the neck to the bottom. Stretch out good the jersey on the floor and also consider the clothing, if used, a little retreat.
  • Neck : the neck is true of the internal size, at the point of maximum opening.
  • Shoulders : Measure from the seam with the sleeve until the diametrically opposite point.
  • Sleeve length : As a point of reference we keep the seam that separates the sleeve from the shoulders. From there, we take the measurement until the end of the sleeve itself.
  • The width of the Sleeves : Measure from the end point of the sleeve itself.

On the technical sheets of every T-shirt you will find the measurements for each size. Below is an example of the product card with the relevant table of the sizes.
