How to measure T-Shirts and other garments
You can find the length and width measurements of each T-shirt in the size chart on the item's page.
To choose which is the best size for you, take a T-shirt that you already own and like the way it fits. T-shirts are usually measured by laying them flat on a surface to ensure they aren’t moving around or stretching. Use a standard 60-inch measuring tape. Avoid using short rulers or measuring tapes because they’ll likely give you inaccurate measurements.
- Length: To measure the length, lay out the shirt on a flat surface and measure the distance from the highest point of the shoulder down to the t-shirt’s bottom seam.
- Width: To get the chest width, measure from the bottom of one armpit to the other.
- Waist: Measure the waist area by placing your measuring tape from one outer edge to the other.
- Sleeve Length: Measure from the tip of the shoulder to the sleeve opening.
What is DGP ... Direct to Garment Printing
Direct to Garment Printing is digital printing. This delivers a smooth and soft finish that resists cracking and fading, using eco-friendly water-based inks. Each item is custom-printed after your order is placed. Some items, such as the totes, are also custom cut and sewn after they are printed. My shirts/totes/hats/aprons do not have heat transfers.
Why does my shirt have a vinegar smell?
When unpacking a new shirt or hoodie with a direct-to-garment (DTG) print, you might notice a vinegar-like smell or an off-white residue. Don’t worry, that’s not unusual; it’s from a fixation agent applied during the printing process, and it’s not permanent.
Fixation agent (sometimes known as pre-treatment) is used for all DTG prints across the industry. It helps the ink bond with the fabric, and without it, the ink would flake off the garment.
The solution is simply to wash the garment! Neither the residue nor the smell is permanent, and both should go away after one wash.

- The final print quality will depend on your printer and the type of paper you use. For best results, use high-quality paper or white card stock with a luster or matte finish.
