FIND YOUR FIT

Same design. So many ways to wear it.

Choose between our youth and adult tees depending on the fit you want. Kids can size up for an oversized look, while teens and adults can choose youth sizing for a shorter, fitted baby-tee look or adult sizing for a classic, relaxed or oversized fit.

Option 1

Youth Tee · XS–XL

Designed for kids, but teens and adults can wear youth sizing too for a shorter, more fitted baby-tee look.

Shorter length · Smaller proportions · XS (4–5) through XL (18–20)

Option 2

Adult Tee · S–4XL

Choose adult sizing for a traditional unisex tee fit with more room and length. Size up for an oversized look.

Longer length · Roomier proportions · Adult S through 4XL

Teen or adult?
