The T-shirt 7200 and its sizes: Asian vs Australian sizing

The T-shirt Premium Cotton (7200) is the shirt most of our clients print on: soft, preshrunk 100% ring-spun cotton of 180 g/m², from 1 piece. It is cut in Asian sizes - so before you order, check its size in centimetres, not by the letter. Here is how.

• Fabric: 100% ring-spun, preshrunk cotton jersey, 180 g/m² - soft, and it keeps its shape
• Heather colours: 50% cotton, 50% polyester, for a textured look
• Sport Grey: 90% cotton, 10% polyester
• Sizes: S to 5XL, in Asian sizing
• Printing: front, back and both sleeves

Asian sizes are made for a slimmer and shorter build. Two things are different:

• Each size is smaller. The same letter is not the same shirt.
• The sizes grow less from one to the next - about 3 cm across the chest in the 7200, against about 5 cm in our Australian cut (T21S).

So the bigger the size, the bigger the difference: an Australian L is about a 7200 XL, and an Australian XL about a 7200 3XL. Most people from Australia, Europe or the US take one or two sizes bigger in Asian sizes.

Always go by the centimetres in the table above - and between two sizes, take the bigger one. Do you want the Australian fit? Choose our Australian cut, T21S.

Take a t-shirt you like to wear and lay it flat on a table, smooth, without stretching it.

• Width: straight across the chest, from armpit to armpit
• Length: from the highest point of the shoulder, next to the collar, down to the bottom hem

Find those two numbers in the size table. A t-shirt is measured flat, so the width is half of the way around the chest.

Many things around you have a size you can look up - lay them along the shirt and count:

• Your phone: google its size, like "iPhone 15 size" (14.7 cm tall). Lay it on the shirt again and again, and add up.
• A sheet of A4 paper: 29.7 cm long and 21 cm wide. The long side and the short side together are 50.7 cm - about the width of a 7200 M.
• A bank card or ID card: 8.56 cm long, the same size everywhere in the world.
• A banknote: a Rp 100,000 note is 15.1 cm long, a US dollar 15.6 cm, an Australian $50 note 15.1 cm.
• A piece of string or a phone cable: lay it across the shirt, hold the place with your fingers, then measure the string with your phone or a sheet of paper.

A few centimetres off is fine: the sizes are 3 cm apart.

We can make a shirt to your own sizes, or copy a shirt you have: your own sizes. And see about our shirt sizes for why a hand-made shirt can be a little off.
