T-Shirt Size & Fit Guide
T Shirts Australia prints custom apparel from Coorparoo, Brisbane. Use this guide to measure yourself (or your team), understand regular vs oversized vs ladies fits, then always confirm the size chart on the product page for that exact garment and brand — charts differ by style.
Who this is for
- One-off custom tees and gifts
- Clubs, events, and workplaces ordering mixed sizes
- Anyone choosing between slim, regular, and oversized blanks before print
How to measure
- Chest — measure under the arms around the fullest part of the chest, keeping the tape level.
- Body length — from the high point of the shoulder to the hem (or follow the measurement points named on that brand’s chart).
- Compare to the product size chart — use the Size Guide on the product page, not a generic AU letter alone.
- Between sizes — consider fabric (stretch vs rigid cotton) and whether you want a fitted or relaxed look.
- For groups — collect a size list early, and check Big Fit or tall options where they are listed on the product.
We do not publish one universal centimetre table for every brand. Open the strong>Size Guide on each product for that style’s measurements.
Brand and fit notes
- AS Colour — popular blanks; many tees follow their own chart closely. Oversized styles are labelled as oversized — don’t upsize a regular tee expecting an oversized look.
- Printer / activewear — athletic cuts can differ from fashion tees; always check that product’s chart.
- Oversized / boxy — choose a product labelled oversized; length and shoulder drop differ from regular fits.
- Ladies — often shaped differently through the chest and waist; use the ladies chart, not men’s letters.
- Kids / big fit — use kids charts for children. For adults who need longer or wider options, check Big Fit categories and our guide on big & tall T-shirt fit.
Print size vs shirt size
Our standard maximum print area is 400 mm × 450 mm. A larger or oversized garment does not automatically mean a larger print — artwork scale and shirt size are separate unless a product says otherwise.
Garments we print vs DTF film
This guide is for custom garments we print for you. If you only need DTF transfer film to press yourself, use our sister shop DTF Transfers Australia — film customers press; sizing on this page is about apparel, not transfer sheets.

FAQs
How do I measure myself for a T-shirt?
Measure your chest under the arms at the fullest point, and check body length against the product chart. Then open the Size Guide on the product page and match your measurements to that brand’s size letters.
Should I size up for an oversized look?
For a true oversized or boxy look, choose a product labelled oversized rather than upsizing a regular tee. Regular and oversized patterns differ in length and shoulder shape.
Do AS Colour tees fit true to size?
AS Colour styles each have their own chart. Many regular tees sit close to the chart, but cuts vary — always use the Size Guide on that product, especially for oversized or ladies styles.
What’s the difference between men’s, ladies, and unisex sizing?
Men’s and unisex charts are often straighter through the body. Ladies charts usually shape the chest and waist differently. Don’t assume the same letter means the same centimetres across ranges.
Where do I find the size chart for a specific product?
On each product page, open the Size Guide (size chart) for that garment. That chart is the source of truth for centimetres and available letters.
Can I mix sizes in one order?
Yes. Add the sizes you need for each colour and style in the same order. For group orders, confirm everyone’s size against the product chart before you pay.
Does shirt size change the maximum print area?
No. Our standard maximum print area is 400 mm × 450 mm unless a product listing says otherwise. Shirt size and print area are separate.
