What Makes the Gildan 64000 a Great Fit?
At MyTeeSquad, we use the Gildan 64000 Unisex Softstyle Tee as our base shirt for most designs. It’s a modern classic—designed to flatter without being tight, and soft enough to wear on repeat.
Key Features:
-
Modern Retail Fit: Tailored but relaxed—not boxy, not snug
-
Soft Ring-Spun Cotton: Feels great against your skin
-
Pre-Shrunk Fabric: Helps maintain its shape wash after wash
-
Wide Size Range: XS to 5XL, so everyone finds their fit
Once you try it in the right size, chances are you’ll want one in every design.
Gildan 64000 Size Chart (Inches)
Use this chart to compare your body measurements or match up with your favorite t-shirt.
Note: These measurements reflect the t-shirt laid flat. Sizes may vary slightly due to manufacturing (±1.5").
How to Measure Yourself Accurately
Knowing your size starts with a few simple measurements. You can either measure your body or take a shirt you love and use it for reference.
Measure Yourself:
-
Chest: Wrap a tape around the widest part of your chest, just under your armpits.
-
Length: Measure from the top of your shoulder down to where you’d like the hem to fall (typically below the waist).
-
Sleeve: Start from the shoulder seam and go down the outer arm to your desired sleeve length.
Or Measure Your Favorite T-Shirt:
-
Width: Lay it flat and measure from armpit to armpit. Multiply by 2 for full chest.
-
Length: Measure from the top of the collar (shoulder seam) to the bottom hem.
-
Sleeve: Measure from the shoulder seam to the sleeve’s end.
Match your numbers to the Gildan 64000 chart above for the closest fit.
Style & Fit Tips Based on How You Like to Wear It
Your sizing may shift based on how you want your tee to look and feel. Here’s how to adjust based on your personal style:
Go With Your True Size If You:
-
Like a neat, modern fit
-
Want to tuck your shirt in cleanly
-
Prefer a structured silhouette that’s not tight
Size Up If You:
-
Prefer relaxed or looser-fitting tees
-
Have broad shoulders or a larger chest
-
Want more room for layering or lounging
Size Down If You:
-
Like a more fitted or sculpted look
-
Plan to wear it under jackets or overalls
-
Want a cropped effect with high-waisted pants
If you’re between sizes, we always suggest sizing up—it’s easier to style down than stretch out.
Common Questions We Get All the Time
We’ve helped thousands of customers find their fit, and these are the most common sizing questions we hear:
Will the t-shirt shrink after washing?
Not much. Gildan 64000 tees are pre-shrunk, but a small amount of shrinkage (3–5%) is possible.
Pro Tip: Wash in cold water and tumble dry low to preserve fit.
I’m between two sizes. What should I do?
We suggest going one size up. A slightly bigger tee can still be tucked or styled, while a too-small shirt can feel restricting.
Are these t-shirts unisex?
Yes! They’re cut with a unisex fit.
-
Women often size down for a snug fit
-
Or go true to size for a relaxed, boyfriend-style tee
Can I return it if the size isn’t right?
Since our shirts are made to order, we don’t offer size-based returns. However, if your item arrives damaged or defective, we’ll always make it right.
