So you are set to order custom t-shirts from a shirt printing business. For sure, before delivering the bulk order, you will be given a sample piece for approval. As you inspect that shirt, check out several areas where there are specified and recommended measurements. Before you give your final say in purchasing custom t shirts, be sure to take some time in checking out some custom shirt measurement guidelines.

Look at the neck area of the custom t-shirts and check if you will be comfortable wearing the apparel. The fit snug custom t-shirts should be loose by about half an inch. This will enable free breathing and total comfort. The sleeve is also very important. Make sure your custom t-shirts do not have sleeves that are either too loose or too fit. Overall body movement can be altered and affected by sleeves that are not very comfortable.

Do you have big chests? Men and women should be particular about the chest areas. While women naturally have large bosoms, some men are also bulky in the area due to muscles especially if they religiously work out. Custom t- shirts should not be too tight in the chest area as tightness can be a detriment to proper and comfortable breathing.

The hip of the custom t shirts should take the widest measurement. There should be additional two inches for loose fit shirts. Naturally, the right portion of the hip is not overstretching the fabrics as wearers set. The right hip measurement could also help ensure that the custom t-shirts will not plop away from the pants especially when the hands are intentionally raised.

The shoulder area of the custom t-shirts should be wide as well. As you measure outer edges, there should be additional half an inch to facilitate good and comfortable fit. Overall, the upper body length of the custom t shirts should be appropriate. The shirt should not be too long nor should it be too short. As mentioned, the length of the shirt could alter and affect the comfort in movements. Wearers may tend to move less when the length is short. They will also have a hard time moving if the length is too long, not to mention the unlikely fashion sense the shirt will exude.
